Efforts to explain the causes of human diseases often recapitulate the nature versus nurture
debate. The successes of identifying genetic and molecular causes of monogenic diseases …

The success of the Human Genome Project and the powerful tools of molecular biology
have ushered in a new era of medicine and nutrition. The pharmaceutical industry expects to …

Many diseases and disorders are related to suboptimal nutrition in terms of deficits of
essential nutrients, imbalance of macronutrients, or even toxic concentrations of certain food …

The interface between the nutritional environment and cellular/genetic processes is being
referred to as “nutrigenomics.” Nutrigenomics seeks to provide a molecular genetic …

Nutritional genomics is the study of nutrient-gene interactions and the effect these
interactions have on health. It includes how diet affects the way genes are expressed, the …

Several dietary approaches have been proposed to prevent the onset of chronic diseases.
As yet, no single approach has emerged as having the most consistent health benefits. This …

Nutritional genomics paves the way for novel applications in medicine and human nutrition,
and this volume presents the latest data on how genetic variation is associated with dietary …

Numerous studies in humans, animals, and cell cultures have demonstrated that
macronutrients (eg, fatty acids and proteins), micronutrients (eg, vitamins), and naturally …

Until recently, nutrition research concentrated on nutrient deficiencies and impairment of
health. The advent of genomics—interpreted broadly as a suite of high throughput …

▪ Abstract Nutritional genomics has tremendous potential to change the future of dietary
