Nutritional Genomics: The Impact of Dietary Regulation of Gene Function on Human Disease

Researchers from human nutrition, food science, and other medical and biological disciplines set out a framework for developing nutritional genomics, which identifies personalized nutrition targets based on nutritional genome markers, enhancing intervention outcomes chosen to benefit the population as a whole. They cover transforming dietary signals into gene expressions, gene-linked networks, and food needs to meet nutri-genomic health needs. Among the topics are cellular signaling and molecular targets, mechanisms mediating obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance, and the calcium bio-fortification of crops.
