We have come to realize that optimal nutrient intake is determined
by very specific genetic messages. This realization has led to an
entirely new approach to understanding nutrition - the exploration
of nutrient effects on gene expression. Edited by leading experts
in the field, Nutrient-Gene Interactions in Health and Disease
provides an update of this important and rapidly growing field of
research, presenting examples of both macronutrients and
micronutrients as they affect gene expression. It addresses
lipogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, fatty acid desaturation, and
glucose transporters. It also discusses genes that associate with
obesity or cancer, genes that are affected by vitamins A and D, and
several other topics. Genetic regulation of nutritional response is
at the heart of our understanding of nutrition science.
Nutrient-Gene Interactions in Health and Disease presents the
latest information about how specific processes in intermediary
metabolism are genetically regulated, giving you a new
understanding of such diseases as obesity, diabetes, alcoholism,
anemia, and other diseases with both a nutrient and a genetic
component.
