Abstract 756: The association between serum serine and glycine and related-metabolites with pancreatic cancer in two prospective cohort studies

Background. Serine and glycine play an important role in the folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism. The metabolism of serine and glycine has been shown to be associated with cancer cell proliferation. No prior epidemiologic study has investigated the associations for serum levels of serine, glycine and their related-metabolites with pancreatic cancer risk. Methods. Two parallel nested case-control studies derived from the Shanghai Cohort Study...
