Molecular Mechanisms in Nutritional Epigenetics (Epigenetics and Human Health, 12) (EPUB)

Molecular Mechanisms in Nutritional Epigenetics

The relationship between nutrition and epigenetic changes is examined in this volume of the Epigenetics and Human Health series. The most recent findings on how diet might impact our genetic and epigenetic profiles, consequently influencing our health and susceptibility to disease, are presented to the reader.

The study of nutritional epigenetics, also known as nutri-epigenetics, has grown dramatically in recent years, providing insight into how dietary practices and nutrition might influence environmental-driven epigenetic pathways. The book offers a thorough overview of the different epigenetic processes influenced by dietary substances and concentrates on particular subjects like the connection between diet and gut microbiota, the influence of diet on cardiovascular disease and psychopathology, and the role of diet during pregnancy.

In addition to discussing the potential of personalized medicine that uses dietary strategies to enhance well-being and prevent diseases, this book, which was written by an international team of experts, uncovers the molecular mechanisms underlying the influence of diet on epigenetic alterations. Researchers and students working in the domains of human nutrition, genetics, and medicine are the target audience for this book.
