TL;DR: The results indicated that the polymorphisms in LEPand LEPRgenes are associated with increased breast cancer risk as well as disease progress, supporting the hypothesis for leptin involvement in cancer pathogenesis.
Abstract: Leptin (LEP) has been consistently associated with angiogenesis and tumor growth. Leptin exerts its physiological action through its specific receptor (LEPR). We have investigated whether genetic variations in LEPand LEPRhave implications for susceptibility to and prognosis in breast carcinoma. We used the polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme digestion to characterize the variation of the LEPand LEPRgenes in 308 unrelated Tunisian patients with breast carcinoma and 222 healthy control subjects. Associations of the clinicopathologic parameters and these genetic markers with the rates of the breast carcinoma-specific overall survival (OVS) and the disease free survival (DFS) were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. A significantly increased risk of breast carcinoma was associated with heterozygous LEP (-2548) GA(OR = 1.45; P = 0.04) and homozygous LEP (-2548) AA(OR = 3.17; P = 0.001) variants. A highly significant association was found between the heterozygous LEPR 223QRgenotype (OR = 1.68; P = 0.007) or homozygous LEPR 223RRgenotype (OR = 2.26; P = 0.001) and breast carcinoma. Moreover, the presence of the LEP (-2548) Aallele showed a significant association with decreased disease-free survival in breast carcinoma patients, and the presence of the LEPR 223Rallele showed a significant association with decreased overall survival. Our results indicated that the polymorphisms in LEPand LEPRgenes are associated with increased breast cancer risk as well as disease progress, supporting our hypothesis for leptin involvement in cancer pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The essential oils of twenty Eucalyptus species harvested from Zerniza and Souinet arboreta, were screened for their antibacterial activities by the agar disc diffusion method and some correlation between the amount of 1,8-cineole, p-cymene, α-pinene, or of cryptone and the antibacterial activity were observed.
