Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics

The molecular mechanisms that modulate physiological functions comprise nutrigenetics. Nutrigenomics studies the bioactive interactions of food components with the genome. Dietary co-factors greatly influence the fidelity of DNA repair and replication. It helps understand how a particular nutrient interacts with the cellular machinery and takes part in the metabolic process. SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) are the genetic variations that occur in about 500–2000 bp throughout the human genome. These SNPs in the various genes interact and influence the metabolic response to diet. The science of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics help in understanding the metabolic process at a molecular level.
