Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics in Functional Foods and Personalized Nutrition
by Lynnette R. FergusonWhile functional foods have become a reasonably well-established concept, personalized nutrition is still treated with skepticism by many. The recognition that people would have different nutrient requirements, or perceive foods in different ways, raises several concerns-some real, some not so real. Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics in Functional Foo

Nutrigenomics: How Science Works
by Carsten Carlberg Ferdinand Molnár Stine Marie UlvenThe fascinating area of Nutrigenomics describes this daily communication between our diet and our genome. This book describes how nutrition shapes human evolution and demonstrates its consequences for our susceptibility to diseases, such as diabetes and atherosclerosis. Inappropriate diet can yield stress for our cells, tissues and organs and then it is often associated with low-grade chronic inflammation. Overnutrition paired with physical inactivity leads to overweight and obesity and results in increased burden for a body that originally was adapted for a life in the savannahs of East Africa. Therefore, this textbook does not discuss a theoretical topic in science, but it talks about real life and our life-long “chat” with diet. We are all food consumers, thus each of us is concerned by the topic of this book and should be aware of its mechanisms.The purpose of this book is to provide an overview on the principles of nutrigenomics and their relation to health or disease. The content of this book is based on the lecture course “Nutrigenomics”, which is held since 2003 once per year by Prof. Carlberg at the University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio. The book represents an updated but simplified version of our textbook “Nutrigenomics” (ISBN 978-3-319-30413-7). Besides its value as a textbook, “Nutrigenomics: how science works” will be a useful reference for individuals working in biomedicine
Nutrigenomics: How Science Works
by Carsten Carlberg Ferdinand MolnárNow in its second edition, this concise textbook provides an overview of the field of nutrigenomics, a topic at the intersection of nutrition and genetics that explores how dietary molecules interact with our genome and epigenome to influence health and disease. Substantially updated and expanded, the book offers a fresh perspective on how diet has shaped human evolution and our susceptibility to conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The 11 chapters cover a wide range of topics, beginning with an overview of the role of nutrients in health and disease, basic mechanisms of nutrient sensing and nuclear receptors, and the impact of epigenetic regulation on health. Readers will discover how chromatin-modifying enzymes and energy status-sensing kinases play critical roles in signaling pathways between diet and the genome. The book also explores the influence of diet on cancer prevention, the importance of the microbiome, and low-grade chronic inflammation and aging. Written in an accessible style, this textbook is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in nutrition, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biology as well as for students and practitioners in medicine. Numerous color illustrations aid in the transfer of knowledge by graphically summarizing complex processes. Combined with a glossary that explains key terms, this work is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in how our daily dietary choices interact with our genome.
Nutrigenomik: Gene und unsere Ernährung
by Lars-Oliver Klotz Carsten Carlberg Ferdinand MolnárWarum verstoffwechseln wir dieselben Mahlzeiten so unterschiedlich? Haben ernährungsbedingte Erkrankungen eine genetische Ursache? Können Genuntersuchungen Vorhersagen zum Eintreten solcher Erkrankungen liefern? Welchen Einfluss haben Umwelt und Verhalten? Mit diesen und ähnlichen Fragen befasst sich das Gebiet der Nutrigenomik, das die Wechselwirkung zwischen Ernährung und Genom erforscht. Zu Beginn dieses Lehrbuchs wird ein Überblick über die Bedeutung der Nutrigenomik im Kontext der Ernährungswissenschaften gegeben. Sodann wird auf das menschliche Genom sowie seine Variationen eingegangen und der besondere Einfluss der Ernährung auf dessen Evolution beschrieben. Im Anschluss werden die molekularen Grundlagen der Wechselwirkung von Nährstoffen und anderen Nahrungsbestandteilen mit zellulären Signalnetzwerken besprochen, die die Genexpression modulieren. In drei abschließenden Kapiteln werden nutrigenomische Aspekte von Erkrankungen wie Adipositas, Diabetes und Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen besprochen. Dieses Lehrbuch richtet sich an Studierende der Ernährungswissenschaften, der Biochemie und Molekularbiologie sowie der Biologie. Zahlreiche Farbabbildungen unterstützen die Wissensvermittlung, indem komplexe Abläufe grafisch zusammengefasst werden. Verbunden mit einem Glossar, das die wichtigsten Fachbegriffe erklärt, eignet sich das Werk somit ideal zur Modulbegleitung und Prüfungsvorbereitung.

Nutrition Education in the K-12 Curriculum
by Institute of Medicine Steve Olson Board on Children, Youth, and Families Food and Nutrition Board Sheila MoatsThe childhood obesity epidemic and related health consequences are urgent public health problems. Approximately one-third of America's young people are overweight or obese. Health problems once seen overwhelmingly in adults, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, are increasingly appearing in youth. Though the health of Americans has improved in many broad areas for decades, increases in obesity could erode these and future improvements. The IOM report Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation recognized the importance of the school environment in addressing the epidemic and recommended making schools a focal point for obesity prevention. The development and implementation of K-12 nutrition benchmarks, guides, or standards (for a discussion of these terms, see the next section of this chapter) would constitute a critical step in achieving this recommendation. National nutrition education curriculum standards could have a variety of benefits, including the following: Improving the consistency and effectiveness of nutrition education in schools; Preparing and training teachers and other education staff to help them provide effective nutrition education; Assisting colleges and universities in the development of courses in nutrition as part of teacher certification and in updating methods courses on how to integrate nutrition education in subject-matter areas in the classroom and in materials; and Establishing a framework for future collaborative efforts and partnerships to improve nutrition education. Nutrition Education in the K-12 Curriculum: The Role of National Standards is a summary of the workshop's presentations and discussions prepared from the workshop transcript and slides. This summary presents recommendations made by individual speakers.

Nutrition For Life
by Janice Thompson Melinda ManoreNutrition for Life capitalizes on students’ natural interest in nutrition by demonstrating how it relates directly to their health and daily lives. This book is unique among introductory texts in its presentation of nutrients based on function, rather than chemical classification. Within the vitamins and minerals chapters, micronutrients are organized by their various functions within the body (such as tissue guardians, antioxidants, energy generators, essential electrolytes, mineral power plants, blood fortifiers, bone builders), enabling students to think about them conceptually while also understanding their basic roles in the body. This discourages rote memorization and promotes fuller and more accessible understanding of each micronutrients’ importance. For those instructors who still want their students to understand the traditional chemical organization, the micronutrient chapters include detailed tables and overviews of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, and the trace and major minerals. <p><p> Beyond the functional approach, Nutrition for Life includes applied features such as Eating Right All Day, Foods You Don’t Know You Love Yet, and new Cooking videos. The Third Edition also includes additional content with engaging new features, fewer Nutri-Cases, and the new MyPlate food patterns and recommendations. The art and photos have also been updated, along with a fresh interior design.
