" 12/01/1976 - "Because of the potential significance of secondary bile acids and cholesterol metabolites formed by the intestinal microflora in the pathogenesis of colon cancer, fecal microbial 7alpha-dehydroxylase and cholesterol dehydrogenase activities were assayed in colorectal cancer patients, patients with adenomatous polyps, asymptomatic controls, and normal controls. "
