Serum concentrations of adipokines in men with prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia.

CONCLUSION: Leptin-to-adiponectin ratio and IL-6 were elevated in men with prostate cancer. Leptin, chemerin and IL-6 were associated with Gleason score. The relationships between leptin, chemerin and IL-6 were dependent on each other. Overweight and obese men had a higher Gleason score. PMID: 29465157 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
