Metabolic Activities of the Gut Microflora in Relation to Cancer

2000-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The human large intestine is host to a diverse range of bacteria with numbers reaching 10 11 /ml of faecal material. This population plays a significant role in colonic metabolism and health. Undigested dietary substrates and endogenous residues are metabolised by the gut flora. Some of the products of this metabolism have been associated with carcinogenic processes such as tumour promotion (ammonia, secondary bil...
