Zusammenfassung
Objective: Adipostas and insulin resistance are modifiable risk factors for breast cancer. Adiponectin seems to be an important linkage of these associations. In this study we investigated the relationship between insulin resistance and intratumoral adiponectin receptor expression and analysed the relationship between insulin/IGF receptor and adiponectin receptor expression in breast cancer specimen. Methods: Breast cancer tissue and fasting serum were collected from 26 female patients. After microdissection of frozen samples, RNA was isolated and expression of insulin receptor, IGFR1, IGFR2, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2…
