Dietary Modulation of Cell Signaling Pathways

by Zigang Dong (Editor), Young-Joon Surh (Editor)

Overview

A consequence of rapid progress in the science of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics is the substantial accumulation of data covering nutrienal modulation of gene expression at the cellular and subcellular levels. Current research is increasingly focused on the role of nutrition and diet in modifying oxidative damage in the progression of disease. Die
