Neutrogenomic Strategies in Metabolic Syndrome

In the last 2 decades, the relation between nutrition and health has aroused great interest. In this chapter, the background information about the Complex geneenvironment interactions that contribute to MetS will be introduced by highlighting several Neutrogenomic strategies. The role of nutrition is a significant modifiable element modulating the expression of many genes involved in metabolism. This chapter will present the current state of neutrogenomic research discussing the different gene-nutrient interactions in the context of metabolic disease, the molecular mechanisms underlying many of these gene-nutrient interactions, and the shift toward personalized nutrition. Novel modern technologies in Neutrogenomics regarding transcriptomics and metabolomics will be explained.
