Nutritional and environmental epigenetics effects on human health and diseases
Keywords:
DNA methylation, epigenetics, histone modifications, gene expression, human health, diseasesAbstract
Both industrialized and developing nations see an alarming rise in adult-onset illnesses such as T2D and CVD. According to human and animal research, prenatal and early postnatal circumstances may alter a person's vulnerability to chronic diseases later in life. Epigenetic modulation of gene expression has been proposed as one of the processes through which early life environment impacts future illness risk. It is possible that our understanding of the underlying mechanisms may lead us to design new intervention strategies that can lessen the burden of sickness in later life.
