Abstract |
Obesity is one of the well-known risk factors of breast cancer. Accumulating evidence suggests that adiponectin, an obesity-related hormone, is inversely associated with breast cancer risk, particularly in postmenopausal women. Obesity is also associated with high levels of insulin. In addition, studies have suggested that the soy isoflavones present in the traditional Japanese diet have been associated with decreased risk of breast cancer. However, there is no study that has assessed associations between serum levels of isoflavones, insulin, adiponectin and the risk of breast cancer all together with menopausal status. |
