Dietary patterns, food groups, and rectal cancer risk in Whites and African-Americans.
BACKGROUND Associations between individual foods and nutrients and colorectal cancer have been inconsistent, and few studies have examined associations between food, nutrients, dietary patterns, and rectal cancer. We examined the relationship between food groups and dietary patterns and risk for rectal cancer in non-Hispanic Whites and African-Americans. METHODS Data were from the North Carol...
متن کاملInduction of Methanogenesis in High Colon Cancer Risk African Americans
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Cancer screening rates appear to vary based on race and ethnicity. Data on incidence of colorectal neoplasia in Asian Americans are not clear. AIM: To assess the prevalence of adenomas and colon cancer in Asian Americans undergoing screening at a large urban referral practice and compare them to n...
متن کاملAssociation of SULT1A1 phenotype and genotype with prostate cancer risk in African-Americans and Caucasians.
Exposure to heterocyclic amines may increase prostate cancer risk. Human sulfotransferase 1A1 (SULT1A1) is involved in the bioactivation of some dietary procarcinogens, including the N-hydroxy metabolite of the food-borne heterocyclic amine, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo(4,5-b) pyridine. This study compares a polymorphism in the SULT1A1 gene, SULT1A1 enzyme activity, meat consumption, and th...
متن کاملCYP3A43 Pro(340)Ala polymorphism and prostate cancer risk in African Americans and Caucasians.
The human cytochrome P450 3A subfamily of enzymes is involved in the metabolism of steroid hormones, carcinogens, and many drugs. A cytosine-to-guanine polymorphism in CYP3A43 results in a proline-to-alanine substitution at codon 340. Although the functional significance of this polymorphism is unknown, we postulate that the substitution of proline, an alpha-imino acid, with alanine, an amino a...
