A 25-year prospective study of plasma adiponectin and leptin concentrations and prostate cancer risk and survival.
BACKGROUND Adipocytokines may mediate the association between adiposity and lethal prostate cancer outcomes. METHODS In the Physicians' Health Study, we prospectively examined the association of prediagnostic plasma concentrations of adiponectin and leptin with risk of developing incident prostate cancer (654 cases diagnosed 1982-2000 and 644 age-matched controls) and, among cases, risk of dy...

متن کاملبررسی شیوع پلیمورفیسم در ژن کدکننده آنزیم آروماتاز با خطر ابتلا به سرطان پروستات در شمال هندوستان
Background: A series of biochemical reactions are involved in the endogenous production of estrogens. Their final and rate-limiting step is catalyzed by aromatase belonging to the class XIX of cytochrome P450. CYP19 is a key enzyme for estrogen synthesis in males. It catalyzes the irreversible conversion of androstenedione and testosterone to estrone and estradiol-17&beta, respectively. Aromata...
متن کاملEvaluation of Plasma Interleukin-8 Concentration in Patients with Prostate Cancer and Benign Prostate Hyperplasia
