Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) are putative precursor lesions of colon cancer, recently identified on the methylene blue-stained mucosal surface of human colon. No mutations in K-vas or p53 genes were found by non-radioactive single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis in 14 ACF collected from five

## Abstract Aberrant crypt foci (ACF), the earliest identified monoclonal lesions in the colon, provide insights into changes that promote and/or accompany the transformation of normal colonic epithelial cells to colorectal cancer. Fatty acid synthase (FAS), the primary enzyme involved in __de novo
## Abstract Aberrant methylation of CpG islands is a common alteration in human colon cancer. Methylation of only a limited number of loci has been studied in aberrant crypt foci (ACF), the earliest identified premalignant lesions in the colon, and in only a limited number of lesions from the same
## Abstract Colon cancer patients frequently show increased levels of serum insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein‐2 (IGFBP‐2), however, the pathogenetic relevance of this phenomenon for colorectal cancer is unclear. Therefore, we have used IGFBP‐2 transgenic animals which overexpress IGFBP‐2 s
## Abstract __S__‐Adenosyl L‐methionine (SAM) is a universal methyl group donor to various intermediary metabolites, hormones, proteins, neurotransmitters, phospholipids and nucleic acids. Deficiency of folate, which plays a role in the synthesis of SAM leads to increased risk for colon cancer. Thi
