Ingestion of mammalian meat and alpha-gal allergy: Clinical relevance in primary care

African Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine, 2019
Background: An allergic reaction to mammalian meat has recently been reported in rural parts of South Africa and throughout other parts of the world. The cause of this allergic reaction is because of an oligosaccharide antigen known as galactose-alpha-1,

Association between lone star tick bites and increased alpha-gal sensitization: evidence from a prospective cohort of outdoor workers

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Alpha-gal is an oligosaccharide implicated in delayed anaphylaxis following red meat consumption. Exposure to tick bites has been correlated with development of an allergic response to alpha-gal.

Processed Meat and Colorectal Cancer: A Review of Epidemiologic and Experimental Evidence [PDF]

, 2008
Processed meat intake may be involved in the etiology of colorectal cancer, a major cause of death in affluent countries. The epidemiologic studies published to date conclude that the excess risk in the highest category of processed meat-eaters is ...

Alpha gal specific IgE positivity due to tick bites and red meat allergy: the first case report in Turkey

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2019
Galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose is a carbohydrate moiety found in the cell membranes of many organisms, commonly known as alpha-gal (α-Gal). This oligosaccharide is not found in the group of primates in which humans are involved.

Beef meat promotion of dimethylhydrazine-induced colorectal carcinogenesis biomarkers is suppressed by dietary calcium [PDF]

, 2007
Red meat consumption is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. We have previously shown that haemin, Hb and red meat promote carcinogen-induced preneoplastic lesions: aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and mucin-depleted foci (MDF) in rats.

Allergic Reactions and Immunity in Response to Tick Salivary Biogenic Substances and Red Meat Consumption in the Zebrafish Model

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Ticks are arthropod ectoparasite vectors of pathogens and the cause of allergic reactions affecting human health worldwide. In humans, tick bites can induce high levels of immunoglobulin E antibodies against the carbohydrate Galα1-3Galβ1-(3)4GlcNAc-R (α ...

Heme-Induced Biomarkers Associated with Red Meat Promotion of colon Cancer Are Not Modulated by the Intake of Nitrite [PDF]

, 2013
Red and processed meat consumption is associated with the risk of colorectal cancer. Three hypotheses are proposed to explain this association, via heme-induced oxidation of fat, heterocyclic amines, or N-nitroso compounds.

Peptidomics of an in vitro digested α-Gal carrying protein revealed IgE-reactive peptides

Scientific Reports, 2017
The mammalian carbohydrate galactose-α1,3-galactose (α-Gal) causes a novel form of food allergy, red meat allergy, where patients experience severe allergic reactions several hours after red meat consumption.
