Nutrition-Gene Interaction 1. Direct interactions Nutrients,
sometimes after interacting with a receptor, behave as
transcription factors that can bind to DNA and acutely induce gene
expression 2. Epigenetic interactions Nutrients can alter the
structure of DNA so that gene expression is chronically altered 3.
Genetic variation Common genetic variations such as
single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can alter the expression or
functionality of genes 3
Nutrigenomics vs. Nutrigenetics Nutrigenomics Nutrigenomics
refers to the application of genomics in nutrition research,
enabling associations to be made between specific nutrients and
genetic factors, e.g. the way in which food or food ingredients
influence gene. Chadwick R. (2004) Proceedings of the Nutrition
Society 63:161-166. Nutrigenetics Nutrigenetics is the study of
individual differences at the genetic level influencing response to
diet. These individual differences may be at the level of single
nucleotide polymorphisms rather than at the gene. Chadwick R.
(2004) Proceedings of the Nutrition Society 63:161-166. 6
Slide 7
Nutrigenomics Nutrigenomics attempts to study the genome-wide
influences of nutrition[and] aims to identify the genes that
influence the risk of diet- related diseases on a genome-wide
scale, and to understand the mechanisms that underlie these genetic
predispositions. Muller M & Kersten S. (2003) Nature Reviews
Genetics 4:315-322. Nutrigenetics Nutrigenetics examines the effect
of genetic variation on the interaction between diet and disease or
on nutrient requirements. Genetics has a pivotal role in
determining an individuals risk of developing a certain disease.
Muller M & Kersten S. (2003) Nature Reviews Genetics 4:315-
322. 7
Slide 8
Nutrigenomics Nutrigenomics describes the use of functional
genomic tools to probe a biological system following a nutritional
stimulus that will permit an increased understanding of how
nutritional molecules affect metabolic pathways and homeostatic
control. Mutch D, et al. (2005) FASEB Journal 19:1602- 1616.
Nutrigenomics focuses on the effect of nutrients on the genome,
proteome, and metabolome. Ordovas J & Mooser M. (2004) Current
Opinion in Lipidology 15:101- 108. Nutrigenetics Nutrigenetics
embodies the science of identifying and characterizing gene
variants associated with differential responses to nutrients, and
relating this variation to disease states. Mutch D, et al. (2005)
FASEB Journal 19:1602-1616. Nutrigenetics examines the effect of
genetic variation on the interaction between diet and exercise.
This includesgene variants associated with, or responsible for,
differential responses to nutrients. Ordovas J & Mooser M.
(2004) Current Opinion in Lipidology 15:101-108. 8

Vitamin D Overview It is a fat soluble vitamin. Not just a
vitamin it is a prehormone Found in some food and made in the body
after exposure to UV rays Major biological function is to maintain
normal blood levels of Ca and Po4 Other tissues like macrophages,
prostrate tissue also have vit D receptor 44

skin to vit D (1937) Antirachitic property in food Fortification of
