Plenary lecture P 1 . 1 The challenges of molecular nutrition research
Due to its complexity, nutrition has traditionally been an observational science. Matching physiology with molecular thinking was next to impossible. As a result, animal models were discarded and human studies were limited to available biomarkers. With these blunt tools, human studies proceeded in heterogeneous patient populations. However, the nature of nutrition is nuanced. Unlike pharmacolog...
متن کاملLinking nutrition to genomics.
The new scientific field of nutrigenomics utilizes genomic tools, like microarrays, to analyze metabolic adaptations induced by variations in nutritional status. Here we describe how transcriptional regulation patterns caused by nutritional changes can be identified using gene expression profiling. This includes technical remarks on microarray analysis and data processing, as well as giving bio...
متن کاملLinking the field to the laboratory in nutrition research.
The three examples presented illustrate the dynamic way in which the field and the laboratory interact. Both types of study rely on sound research design and clear articulation of the relevant exposure. In all studies it is essential to consider the effect that measurement error will have on the estimate of the effect of the exposure on the outcome. Epidemiological studies rely on metabolic res...
متن کاملNutrition education: linking research, theory, and practice.
The increase in obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease worldwide reflects the complex interactions of biology, personal behaviour and environment. Consequently there has been a greater recognition of the importance of nutrition education. An analysis of the evidence from 300+ studies shows that nutrition education is more likely to be effective when it focuses on behavi...
متن کاملEpigenetics: Linking Nutrition to Molecular Mechanisms in Aging
Healthy aging has become a major goal of public health. Many studies have provided evidence and theories to explain molecular mechanisms of the aging process. Recent studies suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are responsible for life span and the progression of aging. Epigenetics is a fascinating field of molecular biology, which studies heritable modifications of DNA and histones that regulate...
