Pelikan Nutrigenomic

Genetics, epigenetics and nutrition are very complex scientific fields, but in today's world they have found a common ground. Changing living conditions, food and nutrition patterns, and increasing diseases have pushed scientists to search for new ways to prevent these diseases every day. The genetic structure, which is the first factor in the pathogenesis of every disease, has long been at the forefront of this search. Studies have investigated the response of genetic mechanisms to nutrition or the response of genes to nutrition. Today, many people want to determine how to eat by having genetic tests done. At the same time, they want to know which diseases their genetic makeup predisposes them to and are interested in how they should eat to prevent these diseases. Although the data currently available do not answer all of these questions, some of them can be partially explained. This book explains the general background to these questions. The chapters in this book provide a perspective that examines these issues and facilitates comprehension with a visually rich background. The book answers questions about how genetic variation affects nutrient requirements and gene-nutrient interactions. It brings together the fields of genetics, biochemistry, epidemiology, public health and nutrition science. In Turkey, there are many academics working on these topics in their own fields. However, following the developments in this field requires a good command of the subject and a good knowledge of foreign languages. Therefore, people who are interested in the subject have difficulty in following the literature. By translating this book into Turkish, we aimed to fill an existing gap in this field and to make a contribution to people working in the field of Nutritional Sciences. Considering the topics included in the content of the book, we have translated this book called "Nutrigenomics" into Turkish with the contributions of very valuable academicians who are experts in their fields, working in different universities in almost every corner of Turkey. We would like to thank our authors who brought the book to the world of science, translated it into Turkish by revealing their knowledge and experience, and spent time and effort. There are a total of 12 chapters in the book and we hope that the relevant chapters will be guiding and useful for students, researchers and practitioners interested in the subject. Promotional text
