Dietary fat may promote colon cancer by increasing fatty acids (FA) and secondary bile acids (BA) in the colonic lumen. These cytotoxic surfactants can damage colonic epithelial cells and thus induce a compensatory hyperproliferation of crypt cells. Our studies show that the hyperproliferative effect of type and amount of dietary fat is not simply due to changes in colonic FA and BA. This indicates that an additional, at present unknown, cytotoxic factor is involved. The hyperproliferative effect of dietary fat is inversely related to the amount of calcium in the diet. In rat and man, dietary calcium precipitates colonic cytotoxic surfactants and thus inhibits luminal cytotoxicity. These inhibitory effects on metabolic risk factors suggest a preventive effect of dietary calcium on colon carcinogenesis.

Context: The obesity epidemic parallels an increasing type 1 diabetes incidence, such that westernized diets, containing high fat, sugar and/or protein, through inducing nutrient-induced islet beta-cell stress, have been proposed as contributing factors. The broad-spectrum neutral amino acid transporter (B0AT1), encoded by Slc6a19, is the major neutral amino acids transporter in intestine and kidney. B0AT1 deficiency in C567Bl/6J mice, causes aminoaciduria, lowers insulinemia and improves glucose tolerance.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), characterized by the loss of two or more pregnancies, impacts approximately 1-2% of couples and poses a significant challenge for individuals of childbearing age. The precise mechanisms underlying RSA remain incompletely understood. Concurrently, the global prevalence of obesity is on the rise, with obesity being closely associated with female reproductive disorders and infertility.
