The role of adiponectin and leptin in the treatment of ovarian cancer patients

Abstract: Introduction: Ovarian cancer is most frequently detected in the advanced stage. Although its pathogenesis is not fully elucidated, it is assumed that body susceptibility and hormonal disorders are responsible. The role of some cytokines as predictors in the treatment process is still investigated. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of adiponectin and leptin with the disease severity and response to chemotherapy. Material and methods: Forty-three ovarian cancer patients were treated by syste… Show more

“…The correlation between leptin levels and cancer differs according to cancer types. Leptin levels are lower in patients with gastric and colon cancers [ 82 , 83 ] whereas higher in patients with breast [ 84 ] and ovarian cancers [ 85 ]. Since anorexia, hyper-metabolism, and inflammatory acute phase response play a role in the development of cancer cachexia, increased leptin secretion has been suggested to be involved in the onset of this pathology.…”

“…Leptyna jest hormonem o działaniu plejotropowym, który uwolniony z adipocytów do krwi, reguluje homeostazę energetyczną, kontroluje apetyt, uczestniczy w procesach immunologicznych i metabolizmie tkanki kostnej, wpływa na funkcjonowanie układu endokrynnego, na angiogenezę, hematopoezę i fibrynolizę. Ogólnie efekty działania leptyny można podzielić na centralne i obwodowe [15,17,18].…”

“…U podstaw tego zjawiska mogą leżeć trzy mechanizmy: zaburzenie przekazywania sygnałów wewnątrzkomórkowych, utrudnione przechodzenie leptyny przez barierę krew-mózg oraz nieprawidłowości w ekspresji receptorów leptynowych. Insulinooporność w połączeniu z wysokim stężeniem WKT i cytokin zapalnych może przyczyniać się do spadku utleniania lipidów w tkankach insulinowrażliwych, prowadząc do ich akumulacji a w konsekwencji do insulinooporności [17][18][19].…”
