Nutrigenetics. Prospectives and limitations

Nutrigenetics, Nutrigenomics, and Selenium

Selenium (Se) is an important micronutrient that, as a component of selenoproteins, influences oxidative and inflammatory processes. Its' levels vary considerably, with different ethnic and geographic population groups showing varied conditions, ranging from frank Se deficiencies to toxic effects. An optimum Se level is essential for the maintenance of homeostasis, and this optimum may vary acc...

Reflections and Prospectives

Intellectual challenges and opportunities for mathematics are greater than ever. The role of mathematics in society continues to grow; with this growth comes new opportunities and some growing pains; each will be

Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics

The nutrients are able to interact with molecular mechanisms and modulate the physiological functions in the body. The Nutritional Genomics focuses on the interaction between bioactive food components and the genome, which includes Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics. The influence of nutrients on f genes expression is called Nutrigenomics, while the heterogeneous response of gene variants to nutri...

Nonparametrics: Perspectives and Prospectives

Steming from distribution-free statistics and ’quick and dirty methods’, Nonparametrics has been going through an evolution which is far from being over at this juncture of time. The perspectives over the past 70 years provide good incentives to gauge the nature of changes in prospectives, and our task ahead to cope with some of these challenging statistical issues. Interdisciplinary research, ...
