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).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different pasteurization methods affect the immunoglobulin and C3 complement levels in freeze-dried mature human milk (MHM).
- The objective is to validate freeze drying as an effective way to preserve MHM's therapeutic properties.
- Results indicate that pasteurizing at 62.5°C yields higher protein retention, while pasteurization at 72°C before freeze-drying better preserves immunoglobulins, supporting the method's use in human milk banks for vulnerable infants.
Introduction: Adipose tissue is an important estrogen resource and they are involved in breast cancer development.
Objective: To establish the relationship between adiposity percentage and the estrogen and progesterone receptors immunoreactive score in Mexican women with breast cancer.
Methods: This is a transversal and analytical study.
Background: congenital hypothyroidism is the third sub-clinic hereditary disease in Mexico. Infants with total or partial underactive thyroid gland presented at birth showed high levels of thyrotropin. This allows identifying patients at risk for developing it through screening tests.
