Abstract

Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of colon cancer. Secretion of the hormone leptin from adipocytes is increased in obesity, and serum levels are proportional to body fat mass. Serum leptin levels are an independent risk factor for colon cancer. Leptin receptors are expressed in normal, premalignant and malignant colonic epithelia. We have investigated the effects of leptin on proliferation and apoptosis of colonic cancer cells and the early signalling events involved.
