McKeown-Eyssen (Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prevent., 3, 687-695, 1994)
and Giovannucci (Cancer Causes Control, 6, 164-179, 1995), noting the
striking similarity in lifestyle risk factors for colorectal cancer and
insulin resistance, proposed that the hyperinsulinemia, glycemia and
hypertriglyceridemia associated with insulin resistance promotes colon
cancer. To compare the effect of diet on colon cancer promotion and insulin
resistance in the F344 rat, we assessed the effect of fat, n-3 fatty acids
and energy in pairwise comparisons on average size of aberrant crypt foci
(ACF) and on glucose intolerance in the same animals in a single
experiment. Diets high in fat and energy increased and diets with increased
n-3 fatty acids and calorie restriction decreased both ACF growth and
glucose intolerance compared with control diets. The measures of promotion
of colon cancer and insulin resistance were strongly correlated (n = 98, r
= 0.67, P < 0.001). In addition, both were highly correlated with daily
energy intake (r = 0.62 and 0.66) and were also correlated with basal
(post-prandial) insulin, glucose and triglycerides (r = 0.31-0.53, P <
0.01). We concluded that ACF growth and glucose intolerance are correlated
for a wide range of diets and that increased circulating energy (glucose
and triglycerides) may lead to both colon cancer promotion and insulin
resistance.
