OBJECTIVE: Obesity has been linked to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We hypothesize that adipokines, which are altered by obesity, could affect EAC growth rates and potentially serve as biomarkers of disease and targets for treatment. We have developed a potential murine model to investigate the effects of obesity-altered adipokines on EAC in vivo. METHODS: Severe combined immune-deficient mice were fed either...
