AAP advances in nutraceuticals
Content:
"This new volume provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the field of nutraceuticals and genomics--also called nutrigenomics, a rapidly growing field as the science of nutrition and genomics advances. Nutrigenomics is the study of how a person's diet impacts gene expression across their entire genome. Nutrigenetics is an overlapping topic that studies specific genes rather than the complete genome and how they relate to dietary needs. This volume discusses both nutrigenomic and nutrigenetic techniques to investigate the nutritional basis of some disorders because diet can affect gene expression. It covers the nutrigenomic tools for the prevention of disease conditions such as cancer, viral infection, microbial infection, COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hypertension, neurodegenerative disease, obesity, baldness, and anemia. Some nutrigenomic tools can also be used for brain health, weight loss, human nutrition, skin care, and maintaining health during pregnancy. Some important aspects such as the role of genetics and nutritional factors in the development of any disease condition, as well as personalized nutrition and functional foods are discussed. The impact of oxidative stress on human genetics is also explored in detail. It is critical for scientists to be able to investigate the relationship between nutrients, food, and genetics and advanced health or disease reduction. This book will have a significant impact on the study of nutraceuticals, nutrigenomics, and associated qualities that may be useful in the prevention of various diseases. Healthcare professionals and scientists in the nutraceutical sector, DNA technology, and genetic research industry as well as research academics interested in nutrition and genetics related study will find this volume quite useful."--
