Molecular nutrition
We should eat and drink as
much as to restore our forces,
but not suppress them.
Cicero Marcus Tullius
106-43 BC
There is no need to prove that nutrition is
one of the central problems whose solving is
a constant concern for the humanity.
Apparently, one of the greatest delusions is
the belief that the problem of correct human
nutrition may be solved through creating a
sufficient quantity of required foodstuffs.
Objective analysis shows that a free, or,
more precisely, spontaneous choice of such
products in the today's human society in
most cases leads to nutrition disorders
that, depending on many genetic and
phenotypic characteristics of a human being,
provoke development of hard diseases.

Nutrigenomics vs.
Nutrigenetics
Nutrigenomics
Nutrigenetics
“Nutrigenomics refers to
the application of
genomics in nutrition
research, enabling
associations to be made
between specific nutrients
and genetic factors, e.g.
the way in which food or
food ingredients influence
gene
expression…Nutrigenomics
should facilitate greater
understanding of how
nutrition affects
metabolic pathways and how
this process goes awry in
diet-related diseases.”
“Nutrigenetics is the
study of individual
differences at the
genetic level influencing
response to diet. These
individual differences
may be at the level of
single nucleotide
polymorphisms rather than
at the gene level…It is
envisaged that
nutrigenetics may lead to
individualized dietary
advice.”

Nutrigenetics
“Nutrigenomics describes
the use of functional
genomic tools to probe a
biological system
following a nutritional
stimulus that will permit
an increased
understanding of how
nutritional molecules
affect metabolic pathways
and homeostatic control.”
“Nutrigenetics embodies
the science of
identifying and
characterizing gene
variants associated with
differential responses to
nutrients, and relating
this variation to disease
states.”

ProKeys for Healthy DNA &
Genes
• B-complex vitamins
• Energy nutrients, such as CoQ10
• Antioxidants, such as vitamin E
• Nutrient-dense foods
• Avoiding “empty” sugars and carbs
• Nothing proprietary or years away
Preventing DNA Damage
• Replication errors
– Occur when DNA is copied for new cell
– Reduce with B vitamins
• Transcription errors
– Occur when DNA/RNA make protein
– Reduce with B vitamins and amino acids
• Free radicals
– Reduce with antioxidants, CoQ10
• Advanced glycation end products
– Reduce by limiting sugars, maintain normal
glucose
Some dietary chemicals can cause DNA mutations, DNA
rearrangements, changes in epigenetics and gene
expression;
Some others dietary chemicals can protect genome
functions.
Those cuisines based on large amounts of plants
(vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, beans and legumes),
such as found the Mediterranean diet, are believed to be
health promoting.
Plants produce chemicals to protect themselves, but
recent research has demonstrated that they can also
protect humans against diseases.

few of the well-known phytochemicals are :
lycopene in tomatoes,
isoflavones in soy,
flavonoids in fruits.
The thousands of different types of
phytochemicals can be categorized into families,
according to their protective functions.
Medical research indicated that there is no
single magical phytochemical, but there are
synergistic to their medicinal values.
Also, there is increasing evidence that
consumption of whole foods is better than
isolated food components, such as dietary
supplements and nutraceuticals.
For example, increased consumption of carotenoidrich fruits and vegetables was more effective
than carotenoid dietary supplements.
Antioxidants
• Prevent DNA damage from free radicals
– Vitamin E,Vitamin C,Selenium (as part of
glutathione peroxidases),Polyphenolic
flavonoids,Carotenoids
• Turn some genes on and off
– Vitamin E turns off inflammatory genes
– Vitamin C turns stem cells into heart
cells
• Estrogen-alpha receptor expression
− Naringenin, quercetin
• Suppression of NF-kB
− Total flavonoids of Bidens pilosa L.
Mitochondrial Nutrients
• Promote cellular energy
production
– CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid,
carnitine, ribose, creatine, B1,
B2, B3
– Curb free radical production at
its source
• Increase production of
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
• ATP and adenine ring form part
of DNA
B-Complex Vitamins
• DNA synthesis
– “One-carbon metabolism”
– Folic acid, B3, B6, B12
• SAMe cycle and methylation (CH3)
• DNA Repair
– Folic acid, B3
– Poor DNA repair increases cancer risk
• DNA regulation
– “DNA methylation” turns off cancer cells
• Methyl groups (CH3) attach to DNA

Nutrigenetics/nutrigenomics
Results of nutrigenetics/nutrigenomics studies
could help to modify diets to avoid or include
certain nutrients and food combinations in a more
personalized way than the common state of
knowledge of the ordinary consumer currently
allows.
The genetic basis of each individual differs.
Genes and their variants (alleles) can put people
at higher or lower risk of developing chronic
disease, e.g. cardio-vascular diseases, obesity,
or cancer.
Inherited genes, if known, may also help to
predict the risks and benefits of certain foods.
Gene expression and its regulation
Early investigations of gene regulation
revealed that nutrients can modulate gene
expression.
Flavonoids are a well-known example.
Transcription of genes involved in chronic
diseases or involved in inflammation may be
affected by enriching our diet with specific
foods, inherently rich in phytochemicals.
Initiation of gene transcription itself
requires the presence of transcription
factors, enhancers/repressors, accessible
promoters, and RNA polymerase.
Transcriptomics
Many techniques exist to study gene expression at
the mRNA level.
These techniques can be sorted into two classes.
Either they are aimed:
• at finding genes which differential transcription
in a biological process is unknown (high-density
arrays),
• or to know whether a given interesting set of
genes are differentially transcribed (low-density
arrays, microfluidic RT-PCR)
High density oligonucleotide microarrays have been
used for pioneer studies on the multiple gene
expression effects:
• Ginkgo biloba leaf extract
• Studies of flavonoids or garlic constituents
• Correlation of high consumption of soy
isoflavones in Asian diets to a lower incidence of
a certain type of prostate cancer
The complexity of the human genome, the
difficulties in setting-up cohort study
experiments, plus the cost of the chips represent
the main obstacles.
It is generally accepted that food consumption has
impacts on dynamic changes in the human genome, gene
expression, metabolome, and finally in human health,
generally.
A diet rich in phytochemicals, linked with the daily
intake of
fruits & vegetables, may have a protective effect upon
the genome.
We need to gather more comprehensive knowledge on the
variability of the genome, with respect to
allelomorphism and possibly epigenetic changes,
protein, and metabolite levels (and as a consequence of
fruit & vegetable consumption);
We might help to prevent diseases and prolong human
life by personalised nutrition. High throughput methods
have to be employed to understand the food’s
constituents’ interactions with individual genotypes
under different life situations

Complexity
Food is a much more capacious
definition than we usually think.
It is a complex of hundreds of
thousands of substances, each
having certain biological activity.
Food shall be viewed not only as a
source of energy and plastic
substances, but also as a compound
pharmacological complex.
