Nutriepigenetics and Related Topics: From Cell Mechanisms to Possible Therapeutic Relevance

Nutritional genomics (nutrigenomics) is a broad field that relates the genome to nutrition, and includes the effects of dietary components on the expression of genes and on the repair of genetic damage. Bioactive forms of vitamin A (retinoids) and D (calciferols), for example, can modulate gene expression programs and thereby affect reproduction, development, and many other physiological functions.
