Nutrient-Gene Interactions

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the mechanisms of action and impact of phytochemical-gene interactions on health, aging, and disease. It covers experimental methodologies for identifying significant interactions between diet, genetic variants, and different markers of cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and obesity. It examines the role of resveratrol in cardiovascular health; the preventative mechanisms of whole grains and omega-3 fatty acids; epidemiological research on plant-based foods; the non-antioxidant cellular properties of vitamin E; and controlled clinical trials. It also explores the role of nutrigenomics in developing safe and effective phytochemical products.
