Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation: Emerging Roles for the Microbiome and Epigenome offers a comprehensive overview of how our diet promotes or attenuates inflammation to regulate inflammatory diseases.Broken into five sections, this book presents an introduction to the microbiome and epigenome in nutrition and subsequently covers diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome in development and inflammatory diseases, nutrition and the epigenome in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, diet, epigenetics and the microbiome in inflammatory disease, and addresses health-disparities in diet, epigenetics and gut microbes.This reference will be of interest to nutrition researchers, nutritionists, and postgraduate students, as well as others working in, studying, and researching related fields.

Nutritional Epigenomics offers a comprehensive overview of nutritional epigenomics as a mode of study, along with nutrition's role in the epigenomic regulation of disease, health and developmental processes. Here, an expert team of international contributors introduces readers to nutritional epigenomic regulators of gene expression, our diet's role in epigenomic regulation of disease and disease inheritance, caloric restriction and exercise as they relate to recent epigenomic findings, and the influence of nutritional epigenomics over circadian rhythms, aging and longevity, and fetal health and development, among other processes. Disease specific chapters address metabolic disease (obesity and diabetes), cancer, and neurodegeneration, among other disorders. Diet-gut microbiome interactions in the epigenomic regulation of disease are also discussed, as is the role of micronutrients and milk miRNAs in epigenetic regulation. Finally, chapter authors examine ongoing discussions of race and ethnicity in the social-epigenomic regulation of health and disease.
