A food-based approach that targets interleukin-6, a key regulator of chronic intestinal inflammation and colon carcinogenesis Studies have shown a causal link between high-calorie diet (HCD) and colon cancer. However, molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated. To understand etiology of HCD-induced colon carcinogenesis, we screened 10 pathways linked to elevated colonic cell proliferation and chronic inflammation in an…
