Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation

Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation: Emerging Roles for the Microbiome and Epigenome offers a comprehensive overview of 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 and subsequently covers diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome in development and inflammatory diseases, nutrition and the epigenome in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, diet, epigenetics and the microbiome in inflammatory disease, and 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. Discusses the latest topics in the microbiome and nutritional epigenome in the regulation of aging, development, metabolic disease as well as heart disease Summarizes the current understanding for nutritional intervention in epigenetic reprogramming and microbial changes in the treatment and prevention of disease, as informed by research studies Examines ongoing discussions of socioeconomic status as well as sex, race and ethnicity in the control of the divergence in microbial and epigenetic differences that contribute to health and disease disparities
