    Adiponectin, the hormone that protects women against liver cancer
    • Adiponectin, secreted by adipose tissue, protects against the development of the main form of liver cancer
    • Women produce the hormone in larger quantities than men, and adiponectin release also declines in people with obesity
    • The results open the route to combating a cancer for which there is currently no treatment and that is the fourth cause of death in the world.
