Higher Intakes of Marine-derived Omega-3 and Lower Risk of Colorectal Polyps in Women
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In order to reduce the prevalence of colorectal cancer and death therefrom, colonoscopy screening and the removal of colorectal polyps (both adenomatous and hyperplastic types) has become increasingly common in public health care . Increasing the intake of EPA/DHA from marine sources is known to suppress the accumulation of the omega-6 fatty acid in the form of AA (arachidonic acid) in the body and conversion to AA-derived products (incl. ‘eicosanoids’) which have been implicated in tumor proliferation. In the present study, 5307 men and women between the ages of 40-75 years were subjected to colonoscopy assessments along with estimations of their intakes of the long-chain marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DPA/DHA) via food-frequency questionnaires and food composition tables.

Dietary marine n-3 fatty acids in relation to risk of distal colorectal adenoma in women.
Epidemiologic studies of dietary marine n-3 fatty acids and risk of colorectal cancer have been inconsistent, and their relation to risk of colorectal adenoma has not been evaluated in detail. We examined dietary marine n-3 fatty acids and the ratio of marine n-3 to total n-6 fatty acids (n-3/n-6 ratio) in relation to risk of adenoma of the distal colon or rectum among 34,451 U.S. women who wer...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and insulin–like growth factor 1 in patients with or without colorectal polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated fasting glucose, insulin, insulin–like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), lipid profile and glucose tolerance test in 103 patients undergoing colonoscopy (52 normal and 53 wit...
متن کاملThe Interaction between Dietary Fiber and Fat and Risk of Colorectal Cancer in the Women’s Health Initiative
Combined intakes of specific dietary fiber and fat subtypes protect against colon cancer in animal models. We evaluated associations between self-reported individual and combinations of fiber (insoluble, soluble, and pectins, specifically) and fat (omega-6, omega-3, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), specifically) and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk in the Women's Heal...
متن کاملCalcium and vitamin D intakes in relation to risk of distal colorectal adenoma in women.
The authors examined intakes of calcium and vitamin D, and interaction with retinol, in relation to risk of adenoma of the distal colon or rectum among 48,115 US women who were free of colorectal cancer or polyps, completed a food frequency questionnaire in 1980, and underwent endoscopy by 2002. They documented 2,747 cases of adenoma (1,064 large, 1,531 small, 2,085 distal colon, and 779 rectal...
متن کاملLack of association between the C677T MTHFR polymorphism and colorectal hyperplastic polyps.
Colorectal hyperplastic polyps are benign lesions that share many risk factors with colorectal adenomas and cancers. Low folate intakes are associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. The enzyme 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) may be linked to DNA methylation and nucleotide synthesis and thus play a role in the etiology of colorectal neoplasia. We investigated an associ...
