It is well established that obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer and that blood levels of
adiponectin, a hormone mainly secreted by white adipocytes, are inversely correlated with the …

Obesity is a risk factor of breast cancers. As leptin, a hormone mainly secreted by white
adipocytes, elicits proliferative effects in some cell types, we tested the hypothesis that leptin …

As a sexual dimorphism appears in plasma leptin levels, the aim of the present study was to
investigate, in vivo and in vitro, the influence of sex steroid hormones on ob messenger RNA …

Numerous epidemiological studies have documented that obesity is a risk factor for breast
cancer especially in post-menopausal women. However, the molecular basis of this …

✓ The authors present a series of 73 cases of intraspinal lipomas in the lumbosacral region.
Sixty-four patients were operated on, 43 of these under intraoperative monitoring of neural …

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to compare the predictive values for preterm delivery of fetal
fibronectin and cervical length measured by transvaginal ultrasonography and to determine …

In the present study, we have explored, in vitro, the possibility that short exposure to androgens
and estrogens for 24 h may directly influence leptin expression (ARNm and secretion) in …

In some tissues, rapid effects of estrogens have been described at the plasma membrane
level including activation of the MAPK activity. In rat adipocytes, the present study …

Possible nitric oxide (NO)‐mediated effects on lipolysis were investigated in vivo in human
subcutaneous adipose tissue using microdialysis, as well as in vitro on isolated fat cells of non…
