Nutrition and EpigeneticsAuthor(s): Emily Ho, Frederick Domann\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367658991, 978-0367658991\nSynopsis\nNutrition and Epigenetics presents new information on the action of diet and nutritional determinants in regulating the epigenetic control of gene expression in health and disease. Each chapter gives a unique perspective on a different nutritional or dietary component or group of components, and reveals novel mechanisms by which dietary factors modulate the epigenome and affect development processes, chronic disease, and the aging process. This pivotal text:\n\nDocuments the epigenetic effect of antioxidants and their health benefits\n\nAdds to the understanding of mechanisms leading to disease susceptibility and healthy aging\n\nIllustrates that the epigenetic origins of disease occur in early (fetal) development\n\nSynthesizes the data regarding nutrient and epigenomic interactio.
