## 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

Lactogenic hormones which bind to the PRLR are likely to be growth-stimulatory in human breast-cancer cells. Oestrogen and progesterone control cellular expression of the PRLR however, elevated androgen levels in some breast-cancer patients raised the possibility that androgens may also influence br
Although the androgen receptor (AR) has been detected by ligand-binding assays, there is little known about the expression and regulation of the AR gene in human breast-cancer cells. AR mRNA, measured by Northern analysis in 18 cell lines, was found to be expressed predominantly in oestrogen-and pro
In both the normal and malignant human breast, cellular sensitivity to the proliferative and differentiative activities of the lactogenic hormones i s conferred by expression of the prolactin receptor (PRLR). The PRLR is regulated by steroid hormones; however, recent findings have suggested that PRL
