The metabolic pathways of the human colon metabolic network (Agren et al., 2012) [[12]] influenced mostly by phytochemicals present in plants associated with colon cancer. We highlighted the reactions in pathways that contain metabolites as substrates present in more than 20 plants. The width of the edge is proportional to the number of plants targeting a reaction in that pathway. We have zoomed in on lipid metabolism (A), fatty acid (B), pyruvate metabolism and TCA cycle (C).
