Nutritional Epigenetics and Gut Microbiome
摘要
Epigenetics has gained popularity as a promising area for nutritional intervention. Epigenetic patterns are set during early life, and this critical period is exceptionally responsive to environmental factors. Dietary metabolites and gut microbiota directly or through interactions via epigenetic modifications contribute to the development of various diseases. In this study, relevant literature has been reviewed to understand the connection among nutrition, epigenetics, and gut microbiota, and their impact on health and disease.
