Metabolite profile comparisons between ascending and descending colon tissue in healthy adults

Obesity is a risk factor for colorectal cancer, yet metabolic distinctions between healthy right and left colon tissue, before cancer is diagnosed, remains largely unknown. This study compared right-ascending and left-descending colon tissue metabolomes to identify differences from the stool metabolome in normal weight, overweight, and obese adults.To examine right and left colon tissue metabolites according to body mass index that may serve as...
