Altered NK cell function in obese healthy humans

23 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with an elevated risk for several types of cancer and thus a major health hazard. However, the mechanism between overweight and cancer susceptibility is still elusive. Leptin, mainly produced by adipocytes links food intake and energy expenditure. In addition, recent studies have shown an immunomodulatory impact of leptin on NK cells. The purpose of the present study was to...
