How Testosterone Affects Cancer and Metabolic Disease Risk in Men and Women

A group of British scientists has found that high levels of testosterone, influenced by genetic factors, affect the health of men and women differently. In men, it reduces the risk of type II diabetes and metabolic disease, while in women, it increases the risk. Regarding oncology, the research indicates a negative correlation for both sexes: in women, elevated levels of this hormone contribute to the development of breast and uterine cancer, while in men, it is linked to prostate cancer.

A Protein That Stimulates the Growth of Intestinal Tumors Has Been Discovered

A team of researchers from the University of Toronto has discovered a protein that supports the growth of many forms of colorectal cancer. Their study, the results of which were published in the scientific journal Journal of Cell Biology, established that a protein called Importin-11 transports the oncogenic protein β-catenin directly into the nuclei of intestinal cancer cells, where it stimulates cell proliferation, meaning their uncontrolled division. The scientists attempted to inactivate this stage of transport, which allowed them to block the growth of most colorectal tumors caused by elevated levels of β-catenin.
