Principles of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Fundamentals of Individualized Nutrition

Principles of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Fundamentals for Individualized Nutrition is the most comprehensive foundational text on the complex topics of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics. Edited by three leaders in the field with contributions from researchers around the world, the book covers how the genetic make-up influences the response to foods and nutrients and how nutrients affect gene expression.  This book is broken into four parts providing a valuable overview of genetics,  nutrigenetics, and nutrigenomics, and a conclusion that will help translate research into practice. With an overview of the background, evidence, challenges, and opportunities in the field, readers will come away with a strong understanding of how this new science is the frontier of medical nutrition. Principles of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Fundamentals for Individualized Nutrition is a valuable reference for students and researchers studying nutrition, genetics, medicine, and related fields. Provides a uniquely foundational, comprehensive, and systematic approach with full evidence-based coverage of established and emerging topics in nutrigenetics and nutrigenomicsIncludes a valuable guide to ethics for genetic testing for nutritional adviceProvides definitions, methods, summaries, figures, and tables to help students, researchers, and faculty grasp key concepts in each chapterWorks together with a companion website that includes slide decks, images, questions, and other teaching and learning aids designed to facilitate communication and comprehension of the content presented in the book INDICE: Section 1: The Biological Basis of Heritability and Diversity 1.
