Biomarkers related to one-carbon metabolism as potential risk factors for distal colorectal adenomas

Stefan De Vogel has published an article at the journal of Cancer, biomarkers & prevention where he shows that high plasma concentrations of methionine and betaine, and vitamins B2 and B6 may reduce risk of developing colorectal adenomas. In addition to B-vitamins, methyl group donors such as methionine and betaine may play a role in colorectal carcinogenesis.
