Book Description:
Phytochemicals: Nutrient-Gene Interactions analyzes the mechanisms of action and impact of phytochemical-gene interactions on health, aging, and disease. The book covers experimental methodologies for identifying significant interactions between diet, genetic variants, and different markers of cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and obesity. It explores the role of resveratrol in cardiovascular health; the preventative mechanisms of whole grains and omega-3 fatty acids; epidemiological research on plant-based foods; the non-antioxidant cellular properties of vitamin E; and controlled clinical trials. The book illustrates the growing role of nutrigenomics in the responsible development of safe and effective phytochemical products within the food, pharmaceutical, and supplement industries.
