Brassica vegetable consumption reduces urinary F2-isoprostane levels independent of micronutrient intake (2006)

Fowke, Jay H., Morrow, Jason D., Motley, Saundra, Bostick, Roberd M., Ness, Reid M.

Isothiocyanates and indoles (e.g. indole-3-carbinol) from Brassica vegetables (e.g. broccoli) induce Phase I and Phase II enzymes responsible for the oxidation, reduction and metabolism of endogenous...

Hauret, Keith G., Bostick, Roberd M., Matthews, Charles E., Hussey, James R., Fina, Michael F., Geisinger, Kim R., ...

To investigate the role of physical activity, energy balance, and inflammation on the risk of incident sporadic colorectal adenoma, the authors conducted a community- and colonoscopy-based...

Relation of Calcium, Vitamin D, and Dairy Food Intake to Ischemic Heart Disease Mortality among Postmenopausal Women (1999)

Bostick, Roberd M., Kushi, Lawrence H., Wu, Ying, Meyer, Katie A., Sellers, Thomas A., Folsom, Aaron R.

Calcium and Colorectal Epithelial Cell Proliferation in Sporadic Adenoma Patients: a Randomized, Double– Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial (1995)

Bostick, Roberd M., Fosdick, Lisa, Grambsch, Patricia, Grandits, Greg A., Louis, Thomas A., Potter, John D., ...

Background: The kinetics of colorectal epithelial cell proliferation is altered in patients at increased risk for colon cancer. Calcium administration ameliorates such proliferative changes in...

Zheng, Wei, Kushi, Lawrence H., Potter, John D., Sellers, Thomas A., Doyle, Timothy J., Bostick, Roberd M., ...

To assess the relations of dietary intake of energy and animal foods to endometrial cancer risk, dietary analyses were performed using data from a prospective cohort study of over 23,000...

Vegetables, Fruit, and Colon Cancer in the lowa Women's Health Study (1994)

Steinmetz, Kristi A., Kushi, Lawrence H., Bostick, Roberd M., Folsom, Aaron R., Potter, John D.
