Myosteatosis mediates the link between specific dietary components and colorectal carcinogenesis: from PPLSS multi-center study.
Key Points
To explore how myosteatosis influences colorectal carcinogenesis and the effects of dietary changes.
Multi-center study involving dietary interventions
Assessment of dietary components related to meat consumption
Analysis of myosteatosis levels and colorectal cancer markers
Partial substitution of red meat with soy protein reduces the effects of myosteatosis
Myosteatosis is linked to increased colorectal cancer risk
Abstract
Myosteatosis, an inconspicuous obesity phenotype, plays key role in colorectal carcinogenesis but can be mitigated by partial substitution of red meat with soy protein.
