Published results suggests that high adiponectin level may decrease the risk of breast
cancer. However, available evidence on breast cancer is conflicting. Therefore a meta …

Introduction: Previous retrospective case-control studies suggest that adiponectin, an
obesity-related hormone, is inversely associated with breast cancer risk, particularly in …

The adipocytokines are biologically active polypeptides that are produced either exclusively
or substantially by the adipocytes, and act by endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine …

BACKGROUND Obesity is a well known risk factor for the development of endometrial
cancer; however, weight alone does not account for all cases. The authors hypothesized that …

Adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, circulates at high concentrations in
human plasma. Paradoxically, plasma levels of adiponectin are approximately 50% lower in …

Breast cancer risk is higher among obese women and women with diabetes. Adiponectin is
a protein exclusively secreted by adipose tissue, circulating levels of which have been …

Adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)) secreted from adipose
tissue have come to be recognized for their contribution to the mechanisms by which obesity …

Background The adipocyte-secreted hormone adiponectin has insulin-sensitizing and anti-
inflammatory properties. Although development of pancreatic cancer is associated with …

Adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted hormone that plays an important role in diabetes and
cardiovascular disease, may also be of importance in the development and progression of …

The role of two adipocytokines, adiponectin and leptin, in Taiwanese breast cancer patients
remains to be determined. In this study, we analyzed the correlations between the serum …
