Effect of diet and gut environment on the gastrointestinal formation of N -nitroso compounds: A review

Abstract: Diet is associated with the development of cancer in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, because dietary nitrate and nitrite are the main nitrosating agents that are responsible for the formation of carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) when nitrosatable substrates, such as amine and amide, are present in the GI tract. However, whether the nitroso compounds become beneficial S-nitroso compounds or carcinogenic NOCs might depend on dietary and environmental factors including food stuffs, gastric acidity, microbi… Show more

“…amounts of NO are already being generated by macrophage iNOS, causing nitrosative stress there. In fact, increased NO in exhaled air has been detected following a nitrate-rich meal, 18) although this exhaled NO is not derived from alveolar levels in the lung, but from upper airways including the nasal airways, 17,19) suggesting that dietary nitrite-mediated molecules do not reflect NO production at the alveolar level. This raises the question as to what kind of nitrite-mediated molecules could contribute to the beneficial effect following dietary nitrite?…”

“…There are some theories behind this observation. First, chronic watery diarrhea reduces the transit time in the colon, thus, resulting in less exposure to potentially harmful toxic agents [30]. Second, Yen et al [19] suggested that an increased amount of intraepithelial lymphocytes in the colonic mucosa recruit d-gamma T-cells to the colonic mucosa, which are involved in killing cells with a damaged DNA.…”

“…14 Indeed, added nitrates and nitrites could be precursors of NOC due to chemical reactions with the amine groups of meat proteins in the human gastrointestinal tract, so the potential carcinogens are formed in the body after ingestion of the meat. 40 A number of studies concluded that the consumption of poultry decreased the risk of CRC. 24,26,33 In contrast, other studies/meta-analysis are showing no significant association between white meat consumption and CRC risk.…”
