Relationship of Serum Adiponectin and Resistin Levels with Breast Cancer Risk
Obesity is one of the well-known risk factors of breast cancer. We evaluated the relationship between serum adiponectin and resistin levels and breast cancer risk in 41 biopsy-proven breast cancer patients and 43 age- and body mass index-matched controls. The mean serum adiponectin level was lower i...

Zusammenfassung: | Obesity is one of the well-known risk factors of breast cancer. We evaluated the relationship
between serum adiponectin and resistin levels and breast cancer risk in 41
biopsy-proven breast cancer patients and 43 age- and body mass index-matched
controls. The mean serum adiponectin level was lower in the breast cancer group
than the control group (6.93±3.2 g/mL, vs. 7.60±3.5 g/mL), but this difference
did not reach statistical significance (p=0.37). There was a statistically significant
difference in serum resistin levels between the groups (breast cancer group 5.23±
6.9 ng/mL vs. control 1.46±2.0 ng/mL; p |
