“…La nutrición se define como el conjunto de diversas actividades químicas y fisiológicas que transforman los elementos de los alimentos en elementos del cuerpo (Mickelson et al, 2019). Esta simple definición describe la ciencia de la nutrición como una disciplina basada en la química que interactúa en diversos grados con muchas de las otras ciencias físicas y biológicas.…”

El texto que se pone a consideración del lector, en su edición digital, revisada y corregida, ha sido preparado con fines académicos, para la formación de médicos veterinarios y/o zootecnistas, en el contexto del Altiplano de Puno-Perú; sin embargo, puede servir como referencia para todo lector interesado en la nutrición animal. Incluye seis unidades temáticas: fisiología digestiva de los animales, como uno de los procesos nutricionales clave, seguida de energía (carbohidratos), lípidos, proteínas, minerales y vitaminas, y una unidad temática adicional sobre la evaluación de la composición química y calorimetría de los alimentos.

“…The concepts of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics are related but follow a different approach to the understanding of the association between genes and diet. Nutrigenomics studies the nutrients and food structures capable of acting on the expression of genes, in contrast, nutrigenetics studies the variables of the personal genome in relation to how we respond to foods or compounds consumed in a diet ( Mickelson et al, 2019 ). Polyphenols are among these compounds.…”

Nutrigenomics in Regulating the Expression of Genes Related to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

et al. 2021

Nutrigenomics is the study of the gene-nutrient interaction and it indicates that some nutrients, called bioactive compounds, can mold the genetic expression or change the nucleotide chain. Polyphenols are secondary metabolites found in plants that are regularly consumed in functional foods and help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. This article objected to review studies about the interaction of diet with polyphenols and Mediterranean diet in the expression of human genes related to T2DM. Resveratrol acts as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and increases mitochondrial function. Regular consumption of quercetin resulted in improvement of hypertension and suppression of diabetes-induced vasoconstriction. Genistein also showed positive results in T2DM, such as increased cell mass and improved glucose tolerance and insulin levels. Catechins showed efficiency in inducing genes in triacylglycerol biosynthesis, inhibition of fatty acids and cholesterol, and resulting in their participation in mitigating complications of diabetes. Lastly, curcumin was demonstrated to be a protector of the pancreatic islets against streptozotocin-induced oxidative stress. Growing evidence suggest that bioactive compounds such as polyphenols have an important role in T2DM and the prevention and treatment of its complication, as they cause activation or inhibition of related genes.
