Journal ArticleDOI
DNA methylation, cancer susceptibility, and nutrient interactions.
Cindy D. Davis,Eric O. Uthus +1 more
TL;DR: Dietary factors that are involved in one-carbon metabolism provide the most compelling data for the interaction of nutrients and DNA methylation because they influence the supply of methyl groups, and therefore the biochemical pathways of methylation processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Selenium and Arsenic Affect DNA Methylation In Vitro in Caco-2 Cells and In Vivo in Rat Liver and Colon
TL;DR: Methylation of the p53 promoter region of Caco-2 cells decreased when cells were cultured in the absence of selenite and in the absent of arsenite, suggesting alterations in DNA methylation may be a potential mechanism, whereby deficient dietary selenium increases liver and colon tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nickel deficiency diminishes sperm quantity and movement in rats.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that nickel has an essential function that possibly could affect reproductive performance in higher animals, perhaps through affecting a CNG channel function is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Folate and Selenium Affect Dimethylhydrazine-Induced Aberrant Crypt Formation, Global DNA Methylation and One-Carbon Metabolism in Rats
Cindy D. Davis,Eric O. Uthus +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that selenium deprivation ameliorates some of the effects of folate deficiency, probably by shunting the buildup of homocysteine (as a result of folates deficiency) to glutathione.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic aspects of the interaction between selenium and arsenic.
TL;DR: The proposed mechanisms of this interaction include the increase of biliary excretion and direct interaction/precipitation of selenium and arsenic, and their effects on zinc finger protein function, cellular signaling and methylation pathways, and how anti-carcinogenic effects of seenium may be affected by arsenic.
