Nutrigenomics and Personalized Nutrition: Science and Concept

Abstract excerpt

Diet and genomes interact. Nutrition has the most important life-long environmental impact on human health. While nutrigenetics addresses how an individual's genetic makeup predisposes for dietary susceptibility, nutrigenomics asks how nutrition influences the expression of the genome. Nutrigenomics builds on the three omics disciplines transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. They are a prerequisite for...
