Dietary inclusion of nitrite-containing frankfurter exacerbates colorectal cancer pathology, increases oxidative stress, alters metabolism and causes gut dybiosis in APCmin mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most prevelant malignancy in Europe and diet is an important modifiable risk factor. Processed meat consumption, including meats with preservative salts such as sodium nitrite, have been implicated in CRC pathogenesis. This study investigated how the CRC pathology and metabolic status of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) multiple intestinal neoplasia (min) mice was perturbed following 8 weeks of pork meat consumption.Dietary inclusions (15%) of either nitrite-free pork, nitrite-free sausage or nitrite-containing sausage (frankfurter) were compared against a parallel control group (100% chow). Comprehensive studies investigated: gastrointestinal tract histology (tumours, aberant crypt foci (ACF) and mucin deplin foci (MDF), lipid peroxidation (urine and serum), faecal microbiota and serum metabolomics (599 metabolites).
