Dietary Modulation of Cell Signaling Pathways

A comprehensive review of recent research findings, this book focuses on nutrient-gene interactions and the intracellular signaling network. Comprehensively covering dietary modulation of cell signaling, leading experts address the dietary modulation of particular gene expression systems. The book highlights the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms that involve upstream signaling molecules, such as kinases and transcription factors in the context of their therapeutic potential. It describes nutrientsa actions on the activation of an antioxidant and inflammatory transcription factor and the induction of their target gene expression.
