ABSTRACT
Background: There is a relationship between obesity
and the development of breast cancer; adipocytokines
are among the mechanisms related.
Objective: To describe the impact of obesity in leptin,
adiponectin, resistin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha
(TNF-alpha) serum levels in women with breast cancer
(BC) and benign breast disease (BBD).
Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out with a
sample of 54 individuals divided into two groups: BC (
n =
27) and BBD (
n = 27). Serum levels of leptin,
adiponectin, resistin and TNF-alpha were determined.
Body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Statistical
analysis included mean, standard deviation, median and
interquartile range; the differences between groups were
determined by Student´s
t test, Mann-Whitney
U and
Kruskall Wallis test to identify differences between the
groups.
Results: We didn’t find any significant differences
related to anthropometric characteristics between BC
and BBD groups, or to leptin, adiponectin, resistin and
TNF-alpha serum levels (
p = NS). We found higher
leptin serum levels in obese women with BBD compared
with non-obese women with BC (med 22.26 versus 4.34
ng/mL;
p = 0.028). Adiponectin serum levels in nonobese
women from the BC group were higher than
serum levels found in non-obese women with BBD (med
7.10 versus 2.22 ng/mL;
p = 0.038)
Conclusion: We found higher leptin serum levels and
lower adiponectin serum levels in BBD women than BC
women in this population with high frequency of obesity.
