Leptin and prostate: implications for cancer prevention--overview of genetics and molecular interactions.

European journal of cancer prevention : the official journal of the European Cancer Prevention Organisation (ECP) - 1 Oct 2004

Ribeiro R, Lopes C, Medeiros R

Abstract excerpt

Leptin's relation with obesity has been clearly demonstrated while its role in oncobiology is still largely unknown. Epidemiological studies on serum leptin provide valuable though controversial data, while in vitro studies consistently show leptin's angiogenic and proliferative potential in cancer. Leptin's activity is mediated by tissue-specific receptors, differentially expressed in organs such as the...
