Journal ArticleDOI

Development and validation of empirical indices to assess the insulinaemic potential of diet and lifestyle.

TL;DR: The robust associations of these novel hypothesis-driven indices with insulin response biomarker concentrations suggest their usefulness in assessing the ability of whole diets and lifestyles to stimulate and/or sustain insulin secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and homocysteine and pancreatic cancer risk in four large cohorts.

TL;DR: In analyses restricted to nonusers of multivitamins, a modest inverse trend between folate, PLP, and B12 and pancreatic cancer risk is observed; in contrast, no such inverse associations were observed among study subjects who reported multivitamin supplement use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Folic acid and prevention of colorectal adenomas: A combined analysis of randomized clinical trials

TL;DR: After up to 3.5 years of folic acid use, there is no clear decrease or increase in the occurrence of new adenomas in patients with an adenoma history, implying that folate may be useful as a chemopreventive agent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypomethylation of the IGF2 DMR in Colorectal Tumors, Detected by Bisulfite Pyrosequencing, Is Associated With Poor Prognosis

TL;DR: A bisulfite-pyrosequencing assay to measure methylation of the IGF2 DMR0 is robust and applicable to paraffin-embedded tissue and might be developed as a prognostic biomarker.
Journal Article

Fatty Acids and Risk of Prostate Cancer in a Nested Case-Control Study in Male Smokers

TL;DR: No overall association was found between serum or dietary alpha-linolenic acid or any other unsaturated fatty acid and prostate cancer risk, but high serum linoleic acid was associated with lower risk in men supplemented with alpha-tocopherol.
