Nutrigenomics: new tools for nutritional science

Nutrigenomics for Poultry-new Tools for Maximizing Performance

Technology has catapulted science from simple descriptive observations to highly parallel quantitative assessments of the intricacies of our natural world. The recent technologies that have led to the new field of functional genomics (how the genome of an organism regulates homeostasis and responds to stimuli) are providing a clearer understanding of how organisms interact with their environmen...

Nutrigenomics and its Applications in Animal Science

Nutrigenomics applies genomic technologies to study how nutrients affect expression of genes. With the advent of the post genomic era and with the use of functional genomic tools, the new strategies for evaluating the effects of nutrition on production efficiency and nutrient utilization are becoming available. Nutrigenomics plays an efficient role in various fields of animal health like nutrit...

Nutrigenomics: Definitions and Advances of This New Science

The search for knowledge regarding healthy/adequate food has increased in the last decades among the world population, researchers, nutritionists, and health professionals. Since ancient times, humans have known that environment and food can interfere with an individual's health condition, and have used food and plants as medicines. With the advance of science, especially after the conclusion o...

Science and technology: new tools, new dimensions.

[Nutrigenomics--the science of the 21st century].

„Lekar u budućnosti više neće tretirati bolesti lekovima, već će lečiti i prevenirati bolest ishranom” (Tomas Edison). Ishrana igra izuzetno značajnu ulogu u očuvanju zdravlja i poboljšanju kvaliteta života. Nakon dekodiranja ljudskog genoma u sklopu „Humane Genome Project” 2003. godine, došlo se na ideju da se strategija ishrane može obogatiti podacima o tome koji nutrijenti odgovaraju specifi...
