Cytokines are reported to be associated with the formation of prostate cancer. Our aim was to investigate whether C/T polymorphisms of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene and IL-2 receptor beta (IL-2RB) gene are associated with prostate cancer. We compared the frequency of the polymorphisms of the IL-2 ge

CYP17 encodes the enzyme cytochrome P-450c17␣, which mediates both 17␣-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase in the steroid biosynthesis pathway. A polymorphism in the 5 promoter region of the CYP17 gene has been described. Steroid hormones, especially androgens, are believed to play a key role in the etiolog
## Abstract It is widely recognized that androgen biosynthesis and metabolism are associated with the development and progression of prostate cancer. The human CYP11A1 gene (__CYP11A1__) encodes the P450scc enzyme, which mediates the first step in sex steroid hormone synthesis. The gene contains a
## Abstract Prostate cancer continues to be the most frequently diagnosed neoplasm, and the second leading cause of cancer‐related mortality in men. Oxidative stress may enhance prostatic carcinogenesis. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is the only known superoxide scavenger in mitochondria.
## Abstract Dietary intake of marine fatty acids from fish may protect against prostate cancer development. We studied this association and whether it is modified by genetic variation in cyclooxygenase (COX)‐2, a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism and inflammation. We assessed dietary intake of fi
## Abstract CYP1A1 is likely to play an important role in the etiology of CaP through its function in activating environmental procarcinogens and catalyzing the oxidative metabolites of estrogens. To test the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms in the __CYP1A1__ gene may be associated with the ri
