Özet

Purpose: Tamoxifen, used in breast cancer treatment, may induce hepatic steatosis. It has been suggested that leptin, which, has a relationship with body fat stores, may be involved in the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis. In this study, we compared serum leptin levels in tamoxifen-treated patients with and without hepatic steatosis.
