The role of leptin in breast cancer.
2004
Abstract Leptin, the protein hormone produced mainly by adipocytes, placenta and mammary epithelium plays a significant role in, e.g., control of metabolism, reproductive processes, immune processes, angiogenesis, haemopoiesis and oxidation of lipids. Since some authors link leptin to mechanisms of mammary cancer development, the clinical data has been screened to allow evaluation of the hypothesis.
