Nutrition and Epigenetics

Book Overview

An essential resource for scientists and researchers of nutrition, aging, and metabolic diseases, this book highlights the interactions among nutrients, epigenetics, and health. It presents new information on the action of diet and nutritional determinants in regulating the epigenetic control of gene expression in health and disease. Each chapter gives a unique perspective on a different nutritional or dietary component or group of components, and reveals novel mechanisms by which dietary factors modulate the epigenome and affect development processes, chronic disease, and the aging process.
