Nutrigenomics includes the latest studies and research on the role of oxidants, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and micronutrients in the modulation of gene expression affecting aging, immune function, carcinogenesis, and vascular health.
Features:
- Highlights the complex relationship between oxidants, antioxidants, and gene expression
- Devotes entire chapters to such nutrients as Vitamins C and E, carotenoids, flavonoids, phytoestrogens, ginkgo biloba, iron, zinc, and selenium, to name some
- Investigates the relationship between fatty acids, gene expression, and coronary heart disease
- Summarizes the molecular mechanisms of antioxidant vitamins, phytochemicals and trace elements
