This has been associated with the spread of the Western lifestyle, particularly the consumption of a high-fat diet.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For the study, researchers at Auburn University and Bassett Medical Center sought to determine the effects of high-fat diet induced obesity on the growth of human colon cancer tumors in a mouse model.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">They also investigated the potential mechanisms that trigger obesity-linked colon cancer tumor growth.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In conducting the study, they fed mice with either a low-fat diet or high-fat Western diet.<br \/>Then, they implanted human colon cancer xenografts in mice.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The results revealed that mice fed with a high-fat Western diet gained weight and had increased intra-abdominal fat. Mice in this group also exhibited greater tumor weight compared to mice fed with a low-fat diet.<br \/>In addition, they exhibited higher levels of leptin, but there was no correlation between leptin levels and tumor size.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In sum, the findings of the study indicate that consumption of a high-fat Western diet causes obesity and insulin resistance, which result in accelerated colon cancer growth.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#160;<\/p>\n<p>    <strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>June 15, 2019<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  &#160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#160; A study published in the journal Nutrition Research found that obesity caused by a high-fat diet plays a role in tumor growth, particularly in colon cancer.
