About this Research Topic
Nutrition plays a crucial role in human health, with both pros and cons associated with dietary choices. On the positive side, a healthy and balanced diet provides essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals necessary for optimal bodily functions. It supports growth and development, boosts the immune system, and helps prevent various diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Adequate nutrition also contributes to maintaining a healthy weight, promoting mental well-being, and improving overall quality of life. On the other hand, poor nutrition can have detrimental effects on human health. Consuming a diet high in processed foods, added sugars and unhealthy fats can lead to obesity, increased risk of chronic diseases, and compromised immune function. Additionally, restrictive diets or inadequate nutrient intake can result in nutrient deficiencies, impaired growth and development, and weakened immune responses. It is crucial to prioritize a balanced diet, consisting of a variety of whole foods, to maximize the benefits of nutrition on human health while minimizing the potential drawbacks.
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between nutrition and human health, it is essential to identify dietary components and cellular processes that prevent and treat severe diseases and promote health span. The primary goal of this Research Topic is to pinpoint the nutrients and bioactive substances that play a crucial role in maintaining health. This broad investigation entails studying how nutrients impact gene regulation under various physiological and pathological conditions, including chronic diseases. Moreover, it encompasses exploring the profound effects of nutrition on cellular metabolism, energy homeostasis, and oxidative stress. This is achieved through the modulation of cellular metabolism and stress response pathways, including the integrated stress response. The invaluable insights gained from this exploration can pave the way for innovative strategies in disease prevention, personalized nutrition, and therapeutic interventions, all aimed at improving overall well-being. To summarize, the field of nutrition and human health diligently investigates how specific dietary components exert their influence on gene expression and protein synthesis at the molecular level.
The Research Topic welcomes original research covering, but not limited to, the following areas:
• Exploring the impact of nutrition at a cellular level, with insights on cellular metabolism, energy homeostasis, oxidative stress, and the integrated stress response.
• Investigating the role of dietary components on gene expression and protein synthesis.
• Uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of dietary nutrients.
• Translating the results of the basic research toward novel strategies for personalized nutrition.
