adenoma/triacylglycerol

OBJECTIVE Aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of C825T GNB3 gene polymorphism in patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI) as well as its relation to the metabolic syndrome (MS) and cortisol status. METHODS Alltogether 82 subjects (50 patients with AI, mean age 57.9 + 15 years and 32

In male C3H/He mice, which frequently develop spontaneous liver tumorigenesis, 5 wk of age and weighing about 20 g, the comparative effects on liver tumor incidence from the feeding of olive oil (OLI), safflower oil (SAF), and linseed oil (LIS) diets for 50 wk, the concentrations of total

The modifying potential of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil on tumor development was investigated in a medium-term multi-organ carcinogenesis bioassay. DAG oil is a cooking oil that contains >80% diglycerides, <20% triglycerides and <5% monoglycerides. Male 6-week-old F344 rats (20 in each group) were

This pilot study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and colonic adenomas. Patients undergoing elective surgical resection for CRC were recruited at St. Mary's Hospital London and The Royal Marsden Hospital, UK. Ex

The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma increases with the persistence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Triacylglycerol synthesis is initiated by glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT). Of four isoforms, GPAT1 contributes 30-50% of total liver GPAT activity, and we hypothesized that it might
