Nutritional Genomics: Impact on Health and Disease

Nutritional genomics is a highly innovative and fast-growing field, linking genome research, plant biotechnology and molecular nutritional research. It covers nutrigenomics, which explores the effects of nutrients on the genome, proteome and metabolome, as well as nutrigenetics, the major goal of which is to elucidate the effect of genetic variation on the interaction between diet and disease. Nutritional genomics thus paves the way for novel applications in medicine and human nutrition.
This book presents the latest data on how genetic variation is associated with dietary response and how nutrients influence gene expression, bringing together the various disciplines involved in research. The result is essential reading for nutritionists, biochemists and molecular biologists.
