Nutritional Epigenetics
Since Hippocrates’ axiom in 370 BC, “Thy food shall be thy medicine”, the relationship between food, health and quality of life has been a concern of the scientific health care community. Of course, the boundary between medical (therapeutic) and normal nutrition changes regularly, with many opinions articulated in both the scientific community and the general population. Opinions vary from evid...
متن کاملEpigenetics and nutritional environmental signals.
All terrestrial life is influenced by multi-directional flows of information about its environment, enabling malleable phenotypic change through signals, chemical processes, or various forms of energy that facilitate acclimatization. Billions of biological co-inhabitants of the earth, including all plants and animals, collectively make up a genetic/epigenetic ecosystem by which adaptation/survi...
متن کاملFood as exposure: Nutritional epigenetics and the new metabolism
Nutritional epigenetics seeks to explain the effects of nutrition on gene expression. For social science, it is an area of life science whose analysis reveals a concentrated form of a wider shift in the understanding of food and metabolism. Rather than the chemical conversion of food to energy and body matter of classic metabolism, food is now also a conditioning environment that shapes the act...
متن کاملNutritional influence on epigenetics and effects on longevity.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review synthesizes recently published information regarding nutrition and its impact upon epigenetically mediated mechanisms involved in longevity and aging. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies enriched considerably our understanding of the relationship between aging and gene-nutrient interactions that continuously shape our phenotype. Epigenetic mechanisms play an important...
متن کاملEpigenetics
By the time the reader reaches Chapter 20, which focuses specifically on cancer, the mechanisms and symptoms of cancer are relatively easy to understand. Chapter 20 covers topics such as the cellular phenotypes of cancer, genes linked to cancer, and cancer treatment. While the primary literature citations at the end of the chapter will provide good starting points for the curious student, a mor...
