Abstract excerpt
The most prevalent illness in men is prostate cancer, which risk increases with age and obesity. The precursor NUCB2 gene produces the adipokine nesfatin-1, which was first found in hypothalamic neurons. It is currently unclear how NUCB2 polymorphisms, cancer-promoting lifestyle factors, and prostate cancer are related. We investigated the relationship between clinicopathological features and 4 NUCB2 gene...
