Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation

Klappentext

Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation: Emerging Roles for the Microbiome and Epigenome offers a comprehensive overview on how our diet promotes or attenuates inflammation to regulate inflammatory diseases. Broken into five sections, this book presents an introduction to the microbiome and epigenome in nutrition, subsequently covering diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome in the development of inflammatory diseases, nutrition and the epigenome in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, diet, epigenetics, and microbiome. The book also addresses health-disparities in diet, epigenetics and gut microbes. This reference will be of interest to nutrition researchers, nutritionists, and postgraduate students, as well as others working in, studying, and researching related fields.
