A recent study found evidence that suggested gene expression may interact with folate consumption to alter colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. The results of this study were published in Scientific Reports. The study aimed to investigate interactions between folate consumption and predicted gene expression on colorectal cancer risk across the genome. For genes including glutathione S-Transferase …

A recent study found that a combination of aerobic training (AT) and vitamin D (Vit D) may enhance the lipid profile and liver enzymes. In comparison to AT or Vit D alone, this can tip the balance in favour of inflammation inhibition by downregulating gene expression of inflammation-related factors. The results of this study were …

A person’s DNA holds the key to their genetic predisposition to diseases. Many diseases have a underlying genetic cause, if it is identified, it is far simpler to have an approach towards correct, targeted treatments. Recent research has made it easier to identify genes that cause abnormal bone density and fractures. Bone mass density (BMD) …

Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a very rare genetic disorder, marked by decreased activity of the enzyme, aromatic L-amino acid carboxylase. This gene is responsible for synthesis of neurotransmitters, mainly dopamine and serotonin, that helps in communicating between the neurons in central nervous system. Babies born with this condition appears to be normal …

Human genome and nutrition have a bilateral relationship. The genes of an individual determine the nutrient status, metabolic response, and susceptibility to diet-dependent or related health disorders. On the other hand, nutrients regulate transcription factors that modify the gene expression, thus, adjust the metabolic responses at molecular level. One of the major causes for the …

Physique is quiet a noticeable trait. It has been observed that some people require a strenuous exercise regimen, diet, and so on to achieve a desired physique or body, whereas others achieve the same body with minimal effort. This is because genes play an important role in the exercise outcomes. Studies have found that genes …
