Epigenetic Mechanisms in Childhood Obesity
Abstract Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modification, and activity of noncoding RNAs (nc RNAs), affect the regulation of gene expression. These mechanisms are regulated by numerous environmental factors and are critical at specific windows of biological development, when organs and systems plasticity is increased.

Genetics of Common Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Abstract Childhood obesity is a multifactorial public health problem worldwide. Genetic variation influences the predisposition to develop obesity at early stages of life. Childhood obesity may be classified as syndromic, monogenic, or polygenic depending on the genetic component.

Nutrigenetics and Dyslipidemia [PDF]
Dyslipidemia is an abnormal amount of lipids (abnormality in any of the lipoprotein fractions), especially elevated Low Density Lipoprotein (LDLs) and decreased High Density Lipoprotein (HDLs) in the blood (Shalileh et al., 2009). In developed countries, most dyslipidemias are hyperlipidemias; that is, an elevation of lipids in the blood, are often due

Nutrigenetic Associations With Cardiovascular Disease
It is becoming increasingly evident that not all people respond equally to diet. Nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics is the study of how genes affect dietary response or how nutrients affect gene expression. Understanding gene-nutrient interactions has become essential in many areas of study to account for variation in results.

Body fat and dairy product intake in lactase persistent and non-persistent children and adolescents
Background : Lactase non-persistent (LNP) individuals may be lactose intolerant and therefore on a more restricted diet concerning milk and milk products compared to lactase persistent (LP) individuals. This may have an impact on body fat mass. Objective

The individual response to diet may be influenced by gene polymorphisms. This study hypothesized that ADRB2 (Gln27Glu, rs1042714 and Arg16Gly, rs1042713), ADRB3 (Trp64Arg, rs4994) and GHRL (Leu72Met, rs696217) polymorphisms moderate weight loss.
