Nutrigenomics: exploiting systems biology in the nutrition and health arenas.
نویسنده
چکیده
Nutritional sciences are discovering the application of the so-called "omics" sciences. Propelled by the recent unravelling of the human genome and the coinciding technological developments, genotyping, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics are now available to nutritional research. In the future we are likely to see new screening tools for the selection of bioactive nutrients, new biomarkers for the in vivo efficacy of nutrients, and better insight into the influence of genetic polymorphisms on nutrient metabolism. However, are these promises just based on biotechnological hype or is a real fundamental change in human nutritional sciences at hand?

Nutrigenomics: A New Approach to Food Regulation and Formulation
Nutrigenomics is the study of the effect of nutrition on gene expression which discusses how DNA is converted to mRNA and then converted mRNA to protein, and is the basis for understanding the biological activity of edible compounds. Nutritional manipulations and nutritional approaches are key tools to influence the performance and health of organisms. Today, it has been shown that better nutri...
متن کاملNutrigenomics 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...
متن کاملA Case-Based Framework for Leveraging NutriGenomics Knowledge and Personalized Nutrition Counseling*
NutriGenomics is the bioscience that links the way nutrients and other dietary components shape genetic activity. It builds on the success of Human Genome Project by applying systems biology methods to explain how the molecular components of food, supplements and pharmaceuticals dynamically influence and shape the activity of genomic subsystems, which in turn define how a person can stay health...
متن کاملMetabolomics of a superorganism.
The human can be thought of as a human-microbe hybrid, and the health of this superorganism will be affected by intrinsic properties such as human genetics, diurnal cycles, and age and by extrinsic factors such as lifestyle choices (food and drink, drug intake) and the acquisition of a stable "healthy" gut microflora (the so-called microbiome). Alterations in this superorganism will be manifest...
