Abstract:
Recently, the field of study related to new genomic tools in nutritional research, so called "Nutrigenomics" has attracted attention from the perspective of preventing lifestyle-related diseases. This term implies that other portions of the genome play a role in genetic response to nutrients such as the expression level of mRNA (transcriptome) , the protein level (proteome) , or the metabolic level (metabolome) . From this perspective, the author introduces updated information on research and development in this field, including the relationships between nutrients and physiological functions, metabolism-related issues, personalized nutrition and genetic screening for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
