The study aims to determine racial differences between insulin-like growth factor-l (IGF-1), insulin-like binding protein-1 (IGFBP-2), insulin-like binding preotein-3 (IGFBP-3), prostate specific antigen (PSA), testosterone, body mass index (BMI), and diets high in calories, protein and fat. Specifically, the primary objectives are to: * define raciai differences in serum levels of free and flal IGF-l, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, and testosterone * define how diet and BMI impact serum levels of IGF- ...
The role of dietary fat and vitamin B in prostate cancer risk among African-Americans. African migrants and Africans is being investigated using a dietary assessment tool and by measuring plasma fatty acids and vitamin B in cases and controls. The FFQ appropriate for all three populations has been developed and is in the process of being computerized. 39 potential cases have been accrued into the study and 9 of them ...
The study aims to determine racial differences between insulin-like growth factor-1 (lGF-1), insulin-like binding protein-1 (IGFBP-2), insulin-like binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), prostate specific antigen (PSA), testosterone, body mass index (BMI), and diets high in calories, protein and fat. Specifically, the primary objectives are to: (1) define racial differences in serum levels of free and total IGF-1, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, and testosterone. (2) Define how diet and BMI impact serum levels of IGF-1, ...
