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
(2015)Objective: To evaluate and compare the correlations of various circulating persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with fat mass percentages (FM%) of trunk, leg, and whole body measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. ... -
Circulating Pre-Diagnostic Interleukin-6 and C-Reactive Protein and Prostate Cancer Incidence and Mortality
(Wiley, 2009)Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are elevated in prostate cancer patients, but the role of prediagnostic levels of these inflammatory mediators on prostate cancer outcomes is unclear. We undertook a large, ... -
Circulating prolactin and in situ breast cancer risk in the European EPIC cohort: a case-control study
(BioMed Central, 2015)Introduction: The relationship between circulating prolactin and invasive breast cancer has been investigated previously, but the association between prolactin levels and in situ breast cancer risk has received less ... -
Circulating Very-Long Chain Saturated Fatty Acids and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in U.S. Men and Women
(American Heart Association, 2015)Background-Circulating very-long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLCSFAs) may play an active role in the origin of cardiometabolic diseases.Methods and Results-We measured 3 VLCSFAs (C20:0, C22:0, and C24:0) in plasma and ... -
Circulating vitamin D in relation to cancer incidence and survival of the head and neck and oesophagus in the EPIC cohort
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Experimental and epidemiological data suggest that vitamin D play a role in pathogenesis and progression of cancer, but prospective data on head and neck cancer (HNC) and oesophagus cancer are limited. The European Prospective ... -
CIS Sequence Effects on Gene Expression
(BioMed Central, 2007)Background: Sequence and transcriptional variability within and between individuals are typically studied independently. The joint analysis of sequence and gene expression variation (genetical genomics) provides insight ... -
Cis-eQTL analysis and functional validation of candidate susceptibility genes for high-grade serous ovarian cancer
