Explores the Newly Discovered Link Between Nutrition and
Epigenetics Current research suggests that nutrients are more than
just food components and that certain nutrients can impact the
expression of genes that lead to the development of chronic
diseases. With contributions from experts in both fields, Nutrients
and Epigenetics examines the epigenetic phenomena and the
fascinating implications of diet on this largely uncharted field.
Generously laden with tables and illustrations, many in color, this
book addresses how nutrients alter physiologic and pathologic
processes in the human body through epigenetic changes without
affecting the DNA sequence. It also explains the detailed molecular
structures of epigenetic phenomena and closely examines the current
knowledge surrounding the biology of aging and embryonic growth
regulation. Assesses the Likelihood of Clinical Applicability In
one single compendium, this resource delineates the nutritional
factors that further much-studied aberrant epigenetic patterns,
such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin
remodeling. The book spotlights the influence of nutrition on
epigenetic gene regulation, opening the way for counteracting
future disease processes associated with epigenetic phenomena-a
step that could potentially change the face of disease prevention
and development.
