the nutrients are able to interact with molecular mechanisms and modulate the physiological functions in the body. the nutri­tional genomics focuses on the interaction between bioactive food components and the genome, which includes nutrigenet­ics and nutrigenomics. the influence of nutrients on f genes expression is called nutrigenomics, while the heterogene­ous response of gene variants to nu...

The integration of genomics into nutritional sciences has illuminated the complexity of genome responses to nutritional exposures while offering opportunities to increase the effectiveness of nutritional interventions, both clinical and population based. Nutrients elicit multiple physiological responses that affect genome stability, imprinting, expression, and viability. These effects confer bo...

Recent dynamic development of genetics and its adjacent fields of study on one hand open the so far unthinkable perspectives of the basic and clinical research but, on the other hand, it bears the risk of too one-sided "genocentric" view of pathogenesis of human diseases and, in general, of all biological processes. Nevertheles, more complex view and approach is needed in perspective of today's...

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that nutritional genomics provides insight into how diet and genotype interactions affect phenotype. The practical application of nutritional genomics for complex chronic disease is an emerging science and the use of nutrigenetic testing to provide dietary advice is not ready for routine dietetics practice. Registered dietitian nutrit...

Nutritional genomics has reached the public through applications of the Human Genome Project offered direct to consumers (DTC). The ability to pursue nutrigenetic testing without the involvement of a health care professional has received considerable attention from academic and policy commentators. To better understand the knowledge and attitudes of Canadian health care professionals regarding ...
