Hydrogenotrophic microbiota distinguish native Africans from African and European Americans.
Reduced susceptibility to sporadic colorectal cancer in native Africans (NA) is correlated with low consumption of animal products and greater microbial production of colonic methane. In this context, two hydrogenotrophic microbial groups are of interest, methanogenic Archaea (MA) utilizing H2 to produce methane and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) generating hydrogen sulfide, which has been lin...
متن کاملDiet, microbiota, and microbial metabolites in colon cancer risk in rural Africans and African Americans.
BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies have suggested that most cases of sporadic colon cancer can be attributed to diet. The recognition that colonic microbiota have a major influence on colonic health suggests that they might mediate colonic carcinogenesis. OBJECTIVE To examine the hypothesis that the influence of diet on colon cancer risk is mediated by the microbiota through their metabolites, ...
متن کاملThe genetic structure and history of Africans and African Americans.
Africa is the source of all modern humans, but characterization of genetic variation and of relationships among populations across the continent has been enigmatic. We studied 121 African populations, four African American populations, and 60 non-African populations for patterns of variation at 1327 nuclear microsatellite and insertion/deletion markers. We identified 14 ancestral population clu...
متن کاملA similar pattern of chromosomal alterations in prostate cancers from African-Americans and Caucasian Americans.
A combination of genetic and epigenetic factors may explain the disproportionate incidence and mortality of prostate cancer among African-American males (AAMs) as compared with Caucasian American males (CAMs). We wished to determine whether primary prostate cancers from AAMs and CAMs harbor different patterns or frequencies of chromosomal alterations. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was...
متن کاملArsenic Thiolation and the Role of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria from the Human Intestinal Tract
BACKGROUND Arsenic (As) toxicity is primarily based on its chemical speciation. Although inorganic and methylated As species are well characterized in terms of metabolism and formation in the human body, the origin of thiolated methylarsenicals is still unclear. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) from the human gut are actively involved in the thiolation...
