A cross-sectional study of endogenous tissue plasminogen activator, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, and B-100
(American Heart Association, 1993) -
A dietary pattern that is associated with C-peptide and risk of colorectal cancer in women
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2012)Higher serum C-peptide concentrations have shown to be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, we used diet information to identify food groups that correlated with fasting serum concentrations ... -
A Food Service Intervention Improves Whole Grain Access at Lunch in Rural Elementary Schools
(2014)BACKGROUND Whole grain (WG) options are often limited in schools, which may impact rural, low-income students who rely on school meals for a substantial portion of their food intake. This study examined the changes in the ... -
A gender-specific measure of binge drinking among college students.
(American Public Health Association, 1995) -
A genetic variant at the fatty acid-binding protein aP2 locus reduces the risk for hypertriglyceridemia, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
(National Academy of Sciences, 2006)Obesity and the associated pathologies including dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease constitute a major threat to global human health. Yet, the genetic factors that differentially ... -
A genome-wide analysis of gene–caffeine consumption interaction on basal cell carcinoma
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Animal models have suggested that oral or topical administration of caffeine could inhibit ultraviolet-induced carcinogenesis via the ataxia telangiectasia and rad3 (ATR)-related apoptosis. Previous epidemiological studies ... -
A genome-wide investigation of food addiction
(Wiley, 2016)Objective: Evidence of parallels between drug addiction and eating behavior continues to accumulate. Genetic studies of addictive substances have yielded a number of susceptibility loci that point to common higher order ... -
A Genome-wide Pleiotropy Scan for Prostate Cancer Risk
(Elsevier, 2015)Background: No single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) specific for aggressive prostate cancer have been identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Objective: To test if SNPs associated with other traits may also ... -
A Genome-Wide Screen for Interactions Reveals a New Locus on 4p15 Modifying the Effect of Waist-to-Hip Ratio on Total Cholesterol
(Public Library of Science, 2011) -
A glossary for health inequalities
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2002)In this glossary, the authors address eight key questions pertinent to health inequalities: (1) What is the distinction between health inequality and health inequity?; (2) Should we assess health inequalities themselves, ... -
A high anthocyanin intake is associated with a reduced risk of myocardial infarction in young and middle-aged women
(American Heart Association, 2013)Background-Our current knowledge of modifiable risk factors to prevent myocardial infarction (MI) in young and middle-aged women is limited, and the impact of diet is largely unknown. Dietary flavonoids exert potential ... -
A large cohort study of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and renal cell carcinoma incidence in the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2013)Existing epidemiologic evidence for the association between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) risk is inconsistent.We investigated the association between the use of aspirin and ... -
A large prospective study of SEP15 genetic variation, interaction with plasma selenium levels, and prostate cancer risk and survival
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2010)The role of selenium in prostate cancer (PCa) risk remains controversial, but many epidemiologic studies suggest an inverse association with more aggressive disease. A recently discovered selenoprotein, SEP15, which is ... -
A Large Study of Androgen Receptor Germline Variants and Their Relation to Sex Hormone Levels and Prostate Cancer Risk. Results from the National Cancer Institute Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium
(Oxford University Press, 2010)Background: Androgens are key regulators of prostate gland maintenance and prostate cancer growth, and androgen deprivation therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for advanced prostate cancer for many years. Along-standing ... -
A mathematical framework to determine the temporal sequence of somatic genetic events in cancer
(National Academy of Sciences, 2010)Human cancer is caused by the accumulation of genetic alterations in cells. Of special importance are changes that occur early during malignant transformation because they may result in oncogene addiction and represent ... -
A meta-analysis of cholecystectomy and risk of colorectal cancer
(Elsevier, 1993) -
A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies to identify prostate cancer susceptibility loci associated with aggressive and non-aggressive disease
(Oxford University Press, 2013)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple common genetic variants associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer (PrCa), but these explain less than one-third of the heritability. To identify ... -
A meta-analysis of individual participant data reveals an association between circulating levels of IGF-I and prostate cancer risk
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2016)The role of insulin-like growth factors (IGF) in prostate cancer development is not fully understood. To investigate the association between circulating concentrations of IGFs (IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, and IGFBP-3) ... -
A Meta-Analysis Shows That Docosahexaenoic Acid from Algal Oil Reduces Serum Triglycerides and Increases HDL-Cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol in Persons without Coronary Heart Disease
(Oxford University Press, 2012)Certain algae contain the (n-3) fatty acid DHA, yet the relation between algal oil supplementation and cardiovascular disease risk factors has not been systematically examined. Our objective was to examine the relation ...
