Diet-Gene Interactions Underlie Metabolic Individuality and Influence Brain Development: Implications for Clinical Practice Derived from Studies on Choline Metabolism
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
One of the underlying mechanisms for metabolic individuality is genetic variation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes of metabolic pathways can create metabolic inefficiencies that alter the dietary requirement for, and responses to, nutrients. These SNPs can be detected using genetic profiling and the metabolic inefficiencies they cause can be detected using metabolomic profiling. Studies on the...
