## Abstract Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men and shows a predilection for metastasis to distant organs. Leptin, an adipocyte‐derived cytokine that is closely associated with obesity, has recently been shown to be involved in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. The
## Abstract Adipositas correlates with an enhanced risk of developing malignant diseases such as breast cancer, endometrial tumor or prostate carcinoma, but the molecular basis for this is not well understood. Potential mechanisms include increased bioavailability of adipocytokines (__e.g.__ leptin
## Abstract We found leptin to be strongly expressed in undifferentiated human myoblasts derived from biopsies of the thigh (Musculus vastus lateralis). Both mRNA expression and secretion of leptin were reduced during in vitro differentiation into primary myotubes. However, the expression of the le
