Nutrients and Epigenetics

Examining the relationship between nutrition and epigenetics, this book takes a close look at recent findings and the potential impact of this research on our understanding of aging, embryonic growth, and the development of cancer. Using numerous color illustrations and photographs, it describes how nutrients modulate physiologic and pathologic processes. A starting point for further research, it covers a range of cutting-edge topics that include current findings on DNA methylation, histone modification, and chromatin remodeling. It also details methods to measure epigenetic phenomena.
