Scientific title
Study objectivesWhat is the total N-nitroso compound content of the residue leaving the ileum following consumption of high and low red meat diets?
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSurgery: Ileostomy
InterventionThis is a randomised crossover study consisting of three dietary periods. 12 Non-smoking male or female free-living ileostomists will be recruited by advertisement in the newsletter/website of the Ileostomy Association. The study will last for 6 days, during which time volunteers will live at the volunteer suite at the MRC Dunn Human Nutrition Unit. The volunteers will recieve all three dietary interventions in a randomly assigned order.
1. 1x2 day high red meat diet (240 g red meat/day)
2. 1x2 day low red meat diet (60 g red meat/day)
3. 1x2 day no red meat control diet

The diets will contain measured amounts of other types of food, for example bread and vegetables, to provide all the nutrients required.

Each volunteer will be required to collect all ileal effluent produced for determination of apparent total N-nitroso compound, N-proline and N-nitroso myoglobin content. Liquid chromatography/Mass spectrometry (LC/MS) will also be used in an attempt to characterise the N-nitroso compounds further. Genotoxicity tests will be carried out on the effluent.
