Nutrigenomics is the study of how nutrients and other food components influence gene expression and health. It considers how an individual's genetic makeup influences their response to different diets. The main concepts are that specific diets can modulate health by influencing gene expression, genetic factors affect disease risk, and personalized diets based on genetics may lower risk. Improper diets are linked to disease risk, while certain foods and chemicals can alter gene expression or genome structure. An individual's response depends on their genetic profile, like single nucleotide polymorphisms. Nutrigenomics studies seek to develop personalized diets to prevent diseases based on genetic risk factors.
Nutrigenomics is the science that examines the response of individuals to food compounds using post-genomic and related technologies (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabol/nomic etc.). The long-term aim of nutrigenomics is to understand how the whole body responds to real foods using an integrated approach termed 'systems biology'. The huge advantage in this approach is that the studies can examine people (i.e. populations, sub-populations - based on genes or disease - and individuals), food, life-stage and life-style without preconceived ideas.
Nutrigenetics: Possibilities and limitations in the treatment of overweight...Diana Gessner
1) The document discusses nutrigenetics and its potential role in treating overweight and obesity. It outlines several candidate genes associated with obesity like FTO and genes involved in the leptin/melanocortin pathway.
2) Large genome-wide studies have identified hundreds of genetic loci associated with obesity but genetics only accounts for a small percentage of BMI variation. Environmental factors are still the major driver of obesity.
3) While leptin therapy reduced weight in leptin-deficient individuals, it did not significantly reduce weight in common obesity cases. Further research is still needed to determine nutrigenetic approaches for obesity treatment and prevention.
Nutrigenomics is the application of genomics to nutritional research to understand how foods and dietary components influence gene expression. It studies the interactions between nutrition, genes, and health on a genome-wide scale. The goals of nutrigenomics are to identify dietary signals, understand how they interact with genes and signaling pathways, characterize target genes, and use this information to develop personalized diets that can help prevent diseases. Future applications include using nutrigenomics approaches to better understand polygenic diseases and create customized diets based on an individual's genetic profile.
Nutrigenomics is an emerging scientific discipline that studies the effects of foods and dietary components on gene expression. It explores how nutrients and bioactive compounds in food can turn genes on and off and influence our health. Some key points covered in the document include:
- Nutrigenomics uses tools from fields like genetics, molecular biology, and genomics to study nutrient-gene interactions.
- Certain nutrients consumed during critical periods of development can modulate gene imprinting and influence long-term health outcomes.
- Omega-3 fatty acids from foods like fish have been shown to downregulate genes associated with heart disease and upregulate genes related to cardiovascular health.
- Nutrigenomics research is providing insights into personalized
Effect of Nutritional Factors on Regulation of Gene Expressionsohinisc14
Nutritional factors from fish feed can modify the expression of specific genes in fish related to metabolic pathways. High levels of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals upregulate genes involved in digestion, growth, and metabolism of the corresponding macronutrients. For example, a high-carbohydrate diet increases expression of genes for starch-digesting enzymes, while essential amino acids increase growth factor genes. Nutrigenomics research uses techniques like microarray analysis and reverse transcription PCR to study how nutrients regulate whole networks of genes and cellular processes in fish. Understanding these gene expression changes can help design optimized fish feeds that improve production and welfare.

This document discusses glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and compares them to other diabetes medications. It provides an overview of GLP-1 RAs, noting they are more effective at lowering A1C than other classes but also carry a lower risk of hypoglycemia. The document compares specific GLP-1 RAs such as liraglutide, exenatide, and lixisenatide, noting they differ in terms of amino acid homology to human GLP-1 and risk of antibody formation. DPP-4 inhibitors are also discussed and shown to result in lower GLP-1 levels than exogenous GLP-1 analog administration.
This document discusses celiac disease (CD), including its definition, signs and symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment. CD is a chronic inflammatory disease of the small intestine triggered by ingesting gluten. It is diagnosed through blood tests detecting antibodies and confirmed via small intestine biopsy showing villous atrophy. Treatment involves lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. The document provides details on the diagnostic algorithm and criteria for CD testing according to guidelines.
This document discusses nutrigenomics, which is the study of how genes are affected by nutrients and dietary components. It covers how individual genetic variations influence nutrient metabolism and disease risk, with the goal of developing personalized diets. Key applications of nutrigenomics discussed include cardiovascular disease, bone health, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer. Advances in high-throughput omics technologies and bioinformatics are enabling more comprehensive analysis of gene-diet interactions.
Nutrigenomics attempts to study how nutrition influences gene expression and metabolic pathways. It examines the dietary signatures - patterns of gene, protein, and metabolite expression - produced in cells and tissues in response to specific nutrients. Nutrigenomics seeks to understand how these signatures impact homeostasis and may help identify early biomarkers for conditions like insulin resistance. It takes a holistic approach using omics technologies like transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Nutrigenomics also examines how genetics and environment interact to influence nutritional needs and responses.
Overview of foodomics applications using high resolution mass spectrometry including profiling of natural products, dietary intake studies and an introduction of REIMS direct analysis.
Nutrigenomics is the study of how nutrients and other food components interact with an individual's genome to affect gene expression. It examines how diet influences cellular processes and looks at individual variability in responses to foods based on genetic makeup. The main concepts are that specific diets can modulate health and disease by impacting gene expression, genetic polymorphisms influence disease risk and diet response, and personalized diets may help reduce risk for genetically predisposed individuals. Key applications of nutrigenomics include understanding how diet relates to obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other chronic health conditions by studying gene-diet interactions and genetic variations.
The document discusses the field of proteomics, which is the large-scale study of proteins, including their functions and structures. It defines proteomics and describes several areas within it, such as functional proteomics, expressional proteomics, and structural proteomics. It outlines typical proteomics experiments and some key methods used, including two-dimensional electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and protein-protein interaction prediction methods like phylogenetic profiling.
- The document discusses the GLP-1 analogue liraglutide and its effectiveness in treating type 2 diabetes based on results from the LEAD clinical trials.
- Liraglutide was shown to lower A1C levels, promote weight loss, reduce blood pressure, and have a longer half-life compared to natural GLP-1.
- The LEAD trials found liraglutide to be effective as monotherapy or in combination with other oral drugs in improving glycemic control and weight with a low risk of hypoglycemia. However, longer term studies are still needed to fully understand liraglutide's effects.
Docking is used to predict the binding of two molecules and evaluate their interaction energy. It involves representing molecules, exploring possible configurations, and ranking them by binding energy using a scoring system. There are two main categories: protein-protein docking treats both molecules as rigid, while protein-ligand docking allows flexibility in the ligand. AutoDock software is commonly used for docking via genetic algorithms and other search methods to minimize energy between a protein and ligand. Docking preparation involves adding hydrogens, assigning charges and merging atoms for both molecules. The results can provide insight into protein interactions and rational drug design.
1. Genetic syndromes of severe insulin resistance include rare monogenic defects that result in conditions like leprechaunism (Donohue syndrome) and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome. These are caused by mutations in the insulin receptor gene that produce nonfunctional or impaired insulin receptors.
2. Leprechaunism is the most severe form, characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, fasting hypoglycemia, and death in the first 1-2 years of life. It results from autosomal recessive mutations that create inactive insulin receptors. Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome is also autosomal recessive but milder, causing growth abnormalities and androgen excess.
This document provides an introduction to nutrigenomics and its applications. It discusses how nutrigenomics is the study of how dietary components interact with genes and alter gene expression. There are different types of food-gene interactions, including direct interactions where nutrients directly bind to receptors and regulate genes, and epigenetic interactions where nutrients can alter DNA structure and chronically change gene expression. Nutrigenomics helps understand how an individual's genetic makeup can influence their susceptibility to diet-related diseases and how personalized diets based on genetics can be used for disease prevention and treatment. The document outlines several examples of how nutrigenomics provides insights into cardiovascular, cancer, obesity and hypertension by studying genetic factors and their interaction with diet.
Metoclopramide for nausea and vomiting prophylaxis during andMohd Mudassir
This meta-analysis reviewed 11 randomized controlled trials involving 702 patients undergoing cesarean section to determine the effectiveness of metoclopramide in reducing intra-operative and post-operative nausea and vomiting. The analysis found that metoclopramide was effective at reducing nausea and vomiting when given before or after spinal/epidural anesthesia with no significant side effects reported. Specifically, metoclopramide reduced the incidence of intra-operative nausea and vomiting by 63% when given before anesthesia, and by 62% when given after delivery via neuraxial anesthesia. It also reduced the need for rescue antiemetics and the incidence of early post-operative nausea and vomiting. The review concluded that a 10mg dose of met

This document provides an overview of drug rediscovery using the example of 6-thioguanine (6-TG) for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It discusses the current standard therapies for IBD, their limitations including side effects. 6-TG, which was previously only used for leukemia, shows promise as an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate standard thiopurines. Studies demonstrate the efficacy of 6-TG for IBD with response rates over 70% and less toxicity than other thiopurines. Low-dose 6-TG may avoid nodular regenerative hyperplasia seen at higher doses. Regulatory hurdles include the need for new clinical trials and difficulties with re-registration and distribution compared to redis

This document discusses in vitro models for predicting food digestion. It summarizes:
1) Static in vitro models can estimate endpoints like glycemic index but are too simple to study complex phenomena.
2) Dynamic models can better mimic physiological processes when parameterized correctly.
3) More validated dynamic models are needed for specific populations like infants and elderly.
4) Future work includes defining food categories to validate models and reaching international consensus on parameterizing dynamic systems.
This document discusses how our genes and health are influenced by what we eat. It argues that current research and healthcare is still too focused on treatment rather than prevention of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and heart disease. A new dynamic health concept is needed that is based on metabolic plasticity and resilience, viewing health as our ability to adapt to challenges. Nutrigenomics research allows us to understand how nutrients regulate our genes and phenotype through sensing molecular switches and changing gene expression. Phenotypic plasticity means our phenotype can change in response to our environment like nutrition, and that "we are what we eat and have eaten" in receiving, recording, remembering and revealing foods through our metabolome, proteome, transcriptome, epigen

- Certain phytochemicals from foods like epigallocatechin gallate, resveratrol, genistein, and curcumin have been shown to modulate the epigenome through effects on enzymes involved in DNA methylation and histone modification.
- A variety of dietary phytochemicals from foods commonly consumed during pregnancy may be able to cross the placenta and influence the fetal epigenome, potentially providing protection against disease programming. Further research is still needed.
- Maternal nutrition and environmental exposures during pregnancy can impact the fetal epigenome through DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNAs. This can increase the risk of health issues like metabolic syndrome later in life.
- Certain phytochemicals from foods like epigallocatechin gallate, resveratrol, genistein, and curcumin may beneficially influence the fetal epigenome by regulating enzymes involved in epigenetic modifications.
- Adequate intake of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals during pregnancy and lactation may help protect the offspring by modulating the fetal epigenome.
This document discusses advances in colorectal cancer treatment over the past century. In the early 1900s, surgery was the only option. In the 1960s, chemotherapy was introduced with 5-Fluorouracil being the first drug. Screening became important in the 1970s. Between 1995-present, prevention strategies improved along with adjuvant therapy using multiple chemotherapy drugs. Personalized medicine is now allowing for targeted drugs and precision treatment based on a patient's genetic profile. Continued research promises new immunotherapies and genetically engineered treatments that could further improve outcomes.
This study analyzed the effect of omeprazole on mycophenolic acid (MPA) exposure in renal transplant recipients over the first year posttransplant. The study retrospectively analyzed 348 pharmacokinetic samplings from 77 patients who were either taking omeprazole (PPI group) or not (control group) at various time points posttransplant. Mixed model analysis found that omeprazole reduced MPA AUC and Cmax levels compared to controls, with a greater reduction seen in the first week. The reduction in exposure was seen in patients taking both tacrolimus and cyclosporine immunosuppression and lasted throughout the first year, indicating omeprazole diminishes M

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

6. Introduction – Nutritional Genomics
Nutrigenomic studies have focused on investigating the
molecular mechanisms of action of several foods and nutrients,
particularly lipids, on cardiovascular risk factors and other
complex traits.
Intervention studies, in which subjects receive a controlled
dietary intake, provide the best approach for conducting cause-
effect relationships between gene expression and diet.
Limitations:
- Small number of participants
- Brief intervention duration
- Lack of replication
Ordovas et al. Mol Nutr Food Res 2007

7. Introduction – Nutrigenomic studies general
Goals
To understand the molecular mechanisms of genes-diet interaction.
To prevent diet-related diseases.
To develop evidence-based nutrition.
To contribute to public health.
State of the art
Mechanisms by which dietary patterns, foods or food components elicit their
beneficial/harmful effects on human health are partially unknown.
One of the mechanisms could be the modulation of disease-related genes by
dietary patterns, foods or food components.
At present, the knowledge concerning the role of diet in modulating
atherosclerosis-related genes is limited.

9. Introduction – Nutrigenomic studies II
In peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs)
• Higher increase in TNFα expression after butter-rich breakfast vs olive oil.
• Higher increase in IL6 mRNA response after butter-rich breakfast vs walnut.
(Jimenez-Gomez et al. Atherosclerosis 2009)
• Postprandial activation of NFκ B after butter- and walnut-rich meals vs olive oil.
(Bellido et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2004)
In human adipocytes
• Anti-inflammatory gene expression profile after MUFA-diet vs SFA-diet.
(van Dijk et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2009)
• Higher TNFα expression after conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) vs olive oil.
• Lower expression in GLUT4 (glucose transporter 4), LEPTIN, LPL (lipoprotein
lipase) after CLA vs olive oil.
(Raff et al. J Nutr 2009)

The consumption of a TMD, VOO and its
PC, can modify the human in vivo gene
expression.
The gene expression changes will be
towards a protective mode for
cardiovascular disease development.
