Circulating 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Risk of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
(Oxford University Press, 2010)Case-control studies generally suggesting an inverse association between sun exposure and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have led to speculation that vitamin D may protect against lymphomagenesis. To examine this hypothesis, ... -
Circulating adiponectin and cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: evidence of sexual dimorphism
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: The pathogenesis of cardiovascular (CV) mortality, whose rate is increased in type 2 diabetes, is poorly understood. While high serum adiponectin is associated with increased CV mortality in the general population, ... -
Circulating and Dietary Omega‐3 and Omega‐6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Incidence of CVD in the Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)Background: Dietary guidelines support intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in fish and vegetable oils. However, some controversy remains about benefits of PUFAs, and most prior studies have relied on self‐reported ... -
Circulating and dietary α-linolenic acid and incidence of congestive heart failure in older adults: the Cardiovascular Health Study
(Oxford University Press, 2012) -
Circulating Angiogenic Factors and the Risk of Adverse Outcomes among Haitian Women with Preeclampsia
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Objective: Angiogenic factors are strongly associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes among women with preterm preeclampsia (PE) in developed countries. We evaluated the role of angiogenic factors and their ... -
Circulating Biomarkers of One-Carbon Metabolism in Relation to Renal Cell Carcinoma Incidence and Survival
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Background: The etiology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is only partially understood, but a metabolic component appears likely. We investigated biomarkers of one-carbon metabolism and RCC onset and survival. Methods: The ... -
Circulating Fatty Acids and Prostate Cancer Risk: Individual Participant Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Background: Individual studies have suggested that some circulating fatty acids are associated with prostate cancer risk, but have not been large enough to provide precise estimates of associations, particularly by stage ... -
Circulating insulin-like growth factor axis and the risk of pancreatic cancer in four prospective cohorts
(Springer Nature, 2007)Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I induces growth in pancreatic cancer cells and blockade of the IGF-I receptor has antitumour activity. The association of plasma IGF-I and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) with pancreatic ... -
Circulating Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-1 and the Risk of Pancreatic Cancer
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2007)Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 has growth-promoting effects on pancreatic cancer cells, and elevated fasting serum insulin has been linked to pancreatic cancer risk. IGF binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) is a downstream ... -
Circulating Levels of Resistin and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Men and Women: Results from Two Prospective Cohorts
(American Diabetes Association, 2009)OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of circulating resistin levels in the development of type 2 diabetes using two prospective cohorts of well-characterized men and women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND ... -
Circulating levels of vitamin D and colon and rectal cancer: the Physicians’ Health Study and a meta-analysis of prospective studies
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2011)It remains unknown whether increased risk with low levels of vitamin D is present for colon and/or rectal cancer. To investigate the association between circulating vitamin D levels and colon and rectal cancer, we examined ... -
Circulating Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Incidence of Congestive Heart Failure in Older Adults: the Cardiovascular Health Study
(American College of Physicians, 2011)Background: Few previous studies have evaluated associations between long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF), and those that have are typically based on diet questionnaires and yield ... -
Circulating Metabolites and Survival Among Patients with Pancreatic Cancer
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Background: Pancreatic tumors cause changes in whole-body metabolism, but whether prediagnostic circulating metabolites predict survival is unknown. Methods: We measured 82 metabolites by liquid chromatography-mass ... -
Circulating MicroRNAs: Association with Lung Function in Asthma
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Background: MicroRNAs are key transcriptional and network regulators previously associated with asthma susceptibility. However, their role in relation to asthma severity has not been delineated. Objective: We hypothesized ... -
Circulating Mitochondrial DNA in Patients in the ICU as a Marker of Mortality: Derivation and Validation
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a critical activator of inflammation and the innate immune system. However, mtDNA level has not been tested for its role as a biomarker in the intensive care unit (ICU). We hypothesized ... -
Circulating Mucosal Associated Invariant T Cells Are Activated in Vibrio cholerae O1 Infection and Associated with Lipopolysaccharide Antibody Responses
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells found in abundance in the intestinal mucosa, and are thought to play a role in bridging the innate-adaptive interface. Methods: We measured ... -
Circulating N‐Linked Glycoprotein Side‐Chain Biomarker, Rosuvastatin Therapy, and Incident Cardiovascular Disease: An Analysis From the JUPITER Trial
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)Background: GlycA, a novel protein glycan biomarker of N‐acetyl side chains of acute‐phase proteins, was recently associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in healthy women. Whether GlycA predicts CVD events ... -
Circulating Omega‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Subclinical Brain Abnormalities on MRI in Older Adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)Background: Consumption of tuna or other broiled or baked fish, but not fried fish, is associated with fewer subclinical brain abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We investigated the association between ... -
Circulating Persistent Organic Pollutants and Body Fat Distribution, Evidence from NHANES 1999-2004
