## Abstract Obesity and its associated metabolic syndrome (MetS) are recognized risk factors for breast cancer. The molecular basis for this association remains largely unknown. Adipokines, in particular leptin and adiponectin, are thought to form part of the mechanism linking obesity with cancer t
SUMMARY The distribution of the long form leptin receptor mRNA was examined in the mouse brain using in situ hybridization histochemistry with two independent \(\left[{ }^{35}\right.\) S \(]\) labeled oligonucleotide probes. Analysis of film autoradiograms showed that the long form leptin receptor m
Transforming growth factors-β€ (TGF-β€s), activins, and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) comprise an evolutionarily well-conserved group of proteins controlling a number of cell differentiation, cell growth, and morphogentic processes during development. The superfamily of TGFβ€-related genes include
