Obesity is considered a chronic inflammatory state characterized by continued secretion of
adipokines and cytokines. Experimental and epidemiological evidence indicates that …

Background Obesity can influence on carcinogenesis through alterations in adipokines and
subsequent inflammatory changes. This meta-analysis was aimed to comprehensively …

Obesity is associated with metabolic alterations that may pose a biological link between
body fatness and risk of cancer. Elucidating the role of obesity-related biomarkers in cancer …

[Frontiers in Bioscience 16, 1634-1650, January 1, 2011] 1634 Associations between
adipokines and obesity-related cancer Gilbert Page 1 [Frontiers in Bioscience 16, 1634-1650 …

Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasia, but the
mechanisms of this potential association have not been elucidated. We hypothesized that …

Mechanistic associations between obesity and colorectal cancer remain unclear. In this
study, we investigated whether adipokines are risk factors for colorectal cancer and whether …

Adiponectin—an adipose tissue-derived protein—may provide a molecular link between
obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC), but evidence from large prospective studies is limited …

Adipokines are adipocyte-secreted hormones that may mediate the etiologic link between
obesity and colorectal cancer; however, the evidence from large prospective studies is …

AIM: To examine the association between obesity-related adipokines (adiponectin, leptin,
resistin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and colorectal cancer …

Purpose Leptin and adiponectin are adipokines which have been commonly implicated in
carcinogenesis. As such, many studies have investigated the association of circulating leptin …
