It’s well known that obesity increases the risk of developing prostate cancer. More recently researchers have discovered leptin plays an important role in prostate cancer. Leptin is made by fat cells. Leptin levels are higher in overweight and obese individuals.

Researchers treated three different prostate cancer cell lines with leptin a laboratory study. Long-term exposure of prostate cancer cells to leptin enhanced their proliferation, migration and invasion. The researchers believe this may be a contributing association between obesity and prostate cancer aggressiveness.
