Targeted metabolomics reveals novel diagnostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer
This study employed targeted metabolomic profiling to identify 302 distinct metabolites present in platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), revealing aberrant metabolic profiles amongst individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). Compared to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen 19‐9 (CA199), our metabolite panel showed improved sensitivity ...

The Role of Lactose Tolerance in Pre-Colonial Development [PDF]
This paper establishes a link between natural selection since the Neolithic Revolution and economic conditions in the pre-colonial era. The ability to digest milk, or to be lactose tolerant, is conferred by a gene variant, which is unequally distributed ...

The genetic variation of lactase persistence alleles in northeast Africa
Lactase persistence (LP) is a well-studied example of a Mendelian trait under selection in some human groups due to gene-culture co-evolution. We investigated the frequencies of genetic variants linked to LP in Sudanese and South Sudanese populations ...

Microbiota in Gut‐Heart Axis: Metabolites and Mechanisms in Cardiovascular Disease
Influence of Dietary and Lifestyle Factors on Gut Microbiota and Cardiovascular Health. ABSTRACT Emerging evidence highlights the pivotal role of gut microbiota in regulating cardiovascular health and disease. The gut microbiota, a diverse community of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract, interacts with its host through metabolites ...

High frequency of lactose intolerance in a prehistoric hunter-gatherer population in northern Europe
Background Genes and culture are believed to interact, but it has been difficult to find direct evidence for the process. One candidate example that has been put forward is lactase persistence in adulthood, i.e. the ability to continue digesting the milk

One of the strongest associations between human genetics and the gut microbiome is a greater relative abundance of Bifidobacterium in adults with lactase gene (LCT) SNPs associated with lactase-non persistence (GG genotypes), versus lactase persistence ...

Bioavailability and Bioaccessibility of Grain Polyphenols: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Phenolic compounds are highly abundant, heterogeneous substances in plant food sources, especially grains. Wheat contains chlorogenic acid, syringic acid, ferulic acid, and gallic acid, and oats contain polyphenolic compounds such as p‐hydroxybenzoic acid, caffeic acid, syringic acid, vanillic acid, and p‐coumaric acid. Corn also consists of p‐

The Conquest of Milk: The Rise of Lactase Persistence and the Fall of Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherers [PDF]
Over half of the global human population suffers from lactase nonpersistence, a condition marked by losing the ability to digest lactose after infancy. However, a minority of the global population, primarily located in Central and Northern Europe, has a ...
