Book
Description:
As nutrition
research is shifting its focus from epidemiology and physiology to effects of
nutrients at the molecular level, a uniquely tailored diet that corresponds to
the demands of our genetic signature is emerging as an indispensable need.
Using high-throughput genomic tools, nutrigenomics unravels the influence of
micro- and macronutrients as potent dietary signals regulating metabolic
pathways and unmasks how susceptible genotypes are predisposed to diet-related
diseases.
Selected
topics from this field have been covered in some books, but no other
comprehensive text on epigenetics, nutrition, and human health and disease is
available, until now. This book illustrates nutrition’s influence on epigenetic
inheritance and the mechanisms underlying the modification of the metabolic
imprint of an individual. This enriched understanding of nutrigenomics can be
applied to master a tailored diet that can alleviate imprinted metabolic
syndromes. Specifically, the book focuses on:
- Maternal, perinatal, and
neonatal nutrition
- Epigenetic mechanisms and cancer
- Impacts of dietary factors,
folate deficiency and DNA methylation
- Nutrition’s influence on genetic
imprinting
- The basics of nutrigenomics and
epigenetic regulation
Review:
This
monograph paints a broad-ranging and exciting future for the study of
nutritional epigenetics.
