Nutrigenomics Flashcards
What is nutrigenomics?
The study of genome/ genes & nutrients interactions
What is nutrigenetics?
How genes influence an individual response to a nutrient & associated disease risk
What is nutrigenomics ?
How nutrients/ food influences gene expression & how this response can lead to different phenotypes
What are the 4 p medicine in nutrigenomics?
Predictive, preventive, personalised, participatory
Resveratrol (phenol) are found in what foods?
Grapes, blueberries, mulberrie, raspberries
Resveratrol can help reduce free radicals that damage DNA. IT can alter anti oxidant gene expression. It this an example of nutrigenomics or nutrigenetics?
nutrigenomics
CYP1A2 genotype, caffeine, & risk of HD is an example of nutrigenomics or nutrigenetics
nutrigenetics
Supplements can damage gene expression differently on genotype. This is an example of nutrigenetics or nutrigenomics
Both nutrigenomics & nutrigenetics
What does SNP’s stand for?
Single nucleotide polymorphism
Blueberries are rich in ….. and this helps insulin resistance in T2D
Anthocyanins
