Nutritional genomics
Nutritional genomics is a science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health.
It can be divided into two subcategories:
- Nutrigenomics: studies the effect of nutrients on health through altering genome, proteome, metabolomeand the resulting changes in physiology.
- Nutrigenetics: studies the effect of genetic variations on the interaction between diet and health with implications to susceptible subgroups.
