Impact on Health and Disease
edited by Regina Brigelius-Flohé
Nutritional Genomics covers nutrigenomics, which explores the effects of nutrients on the genome, proteome and metabolome, as well as nutrigenetics.
Features:
- Paves the way for novel applications in medicine and human nutrition
- Presents the latest data on how genetic variation is associated with dietary response and how nutrients influence gene expression
- Brings together the various disciplines involved in research
