  1. Nutrigenomics KNH 413

  2. Nutrigenomics and Disease • Cancer • Use of omega-3 & EPA for rare types • Predicting benefit difficult in other types • Responders and non-responders • Colon cancer • Folate intake and alcohol • Fruits and vegetables • Breast cancer • Antioxidants

  3. Nutrigenomics and Disease • Obesity • Susceptibility with conducive environment • Polygenic trait • Promising research • Perilipin • Serotonin receptor gene promoter

  4. Nutrigenomics and Disease • Thrifty Gene hypothesis • Metabolic status and fetal adaptation predict disease in adulthood • Proneness to metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, CVD
