Nutrition plays a key role in many aspects of health and dietary imbalances are major
determinants of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and …

Nutrients can reverse or change epigenetic phenomena such as DNA methylation and
histone modifications, thereby modifying the expression of critical genes associated with …

Traditionally, it has been widely acknowledged that genes together with adult lifestyle factors
determine the risk of developing some metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance …

Whilst the primary DNA sequence sets the limits of potential gene expression, the pattern of
gene expression in a given cell under particular circumstances is determined by several …

Nutritional epigenetics has emerged as a novel mechanism underlying gene–diet
interactions, further elucidating the modulatory role of nutrition in aging and age-related …

Understanding the physiological and metabolic underpinnings that confer individual
differences in responses to diet and diet‐related chronic disease is essential to advance the …

Unlike the genome, the epigenome can be modified and hence some epigenetic risk
markers have the potential to be reversed. Such modifications take place by means of drugs …

Dietary exposures can have consequences for health years or decades later and this raises
questions about the mechanisms through which such exposures are 'remembered'and how …

Traditionally it has been widely accepted that our genes together with adult lifestyle factors
determine our risk of developing non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes …

Epigenetics is the study of heritable mechanisms that can modify gene activity and
phenotype without modifying the genetic code. The basis for the concept of epigenetics …
