Nutritional Epigenomics offers a comprehensive overview of nutritional epigenomics as a mode of study, along with nutrition’s role in the epigenomic regulation of disease, health and developmental processes. Here, an expert team of international contributors introduces readers to nutritional epigenomic regulators of gene expression, our diet’s role in epigenomic regulation of disease and disease inheritance, caloric restriction and exercise as they relate to recent epigenomic findings, and the influence of nutritional epigenomics over circadian rhythms, aging and longevity, and fetal health and development, among other processes. Disease specific chapters address metabolic disease (obesity and diabetes), cancer, and neurodegeneration, among other disorders.

Diet-gut microbiome interactions in the epigenomic regulation of disease are also discussed, as is the role of micronutrients and milk miRNAs in epigenetic regulation. Finally, chapter authors examine ongoing discussions of race and ethnicity in the social-epigenomic regulation of health and disease.

Empowers the reader to employ nutritional epigenomics approaches in their own research
Discusses the latest topics in nutritional epigenomics in the regulation of aging, circadian rhythm, inheritance and fetal development, as well as metabolism and disease
Offers a full grounding in epigenetic reprogramming and nutritional intervention in the treatment and prevention of disease, as informed by population-based studies

From the Back Cover:

Over the last decade, interest in diet-gene interactions has led researchers to examine epigenomic reprogramming and nutritional intervention in the treatment and prevention of disease. These studies, in part assisted with technological advances in epigenomic sequencing, have increased our understanding of diet’s influence over epigenetic regulation in aging, fetal growth and development, transgenerational inheritance, and circadian rhythm, in addition to health and disease.

Nutritional Epigenomics offers a comprehensive overview of nutritional epigenomics as a mode of study, and current understanding of nutrition’s role in epigenomic regulation of disease, health, and developmental processes. Here, an expert team of international contributors introduces readers to nutritional epigenomic regulators of gene expression, our diet’s role in epigenomic regulation of disease and disease inheritance, caloric restriction and exercise as they relate to recent epigenomic findings, and the influence of nutritional epigenomics over circadian rhythms, aging and longevity, and fetal health and development among other processes. Disease specific chapters address metabolic disease (obesity and diabetes), cancer, and neurodegeneration among other disorders. Diet-gut microbiome interactions in the epigenomic regulation of disease are discussed as well, as are the role of micronutrients and milk miRNAs in epigenetic regulation. Finally, chapter authors also examine ongoing discussions of race and ethnicity in the social-epigenomic regulation of health and disease.

Throughout Nutritional Epigenomics, close attention is paid not only to recent findings of translational significance, but epigenomic approaches, technologies, and modes of analysis to enable future epigenomic studies

About the Author:

Dr. Bradley Ferguson is Assistant Professor of Nutrition at the University of Nevada, Reno, NV. His lab adopts integrative, translational research approaches that encompass bioinformatics, in vitro cell culture, and in vivo animal models to elucidate dietary food components that act as epigenetic modifiers, as well as the role of dietary epigenetic modifiers on pathological cardiac signaling, gene expression, and remodeling. He also seeks to understand how acetylation and deacetylation links metabolic disease (obesity and diabetes) to pathological cardiac remodeling and dysfunction. Dr. Ferguson has published his findings across a wide range of peer reviewed journals, including Scientific Reports, Journal of Animal Science, Current Pharmaceutical Design, and the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology.
