Estrogen-independent role of ER α in ovarian cancer progression induced by leptin/Ob-Rb axis.

In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that ERα, but not ERβ, is involved in leptin-induced ovarian cancer in an E2-independent manner, providing new evidence for cancer progression in obesity-associated ovarian cancer. PMID: 31077012 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
