INTRODUCTION:-
(1) Diet can be an important risk factor for a wide number of diseases.
(2) Dietary compounds can directly or indirectly interact with the genome by
altering gene expression.
(3) The individual genetic pattern can influence the balance between physiological
and pathological condition determined by diet.
(4) Several diet-regulated genes can play a fundamental role in the incidence and
progression of many chronic diseases.
(5) A personalized diet on the basis of nutritional status and genotype can be very
helpful in preventing and curing chronic diseases.
Nutrient-Gene Interactions
Fig shows the influence of nutrient intake to gene expression and protein
synthesis. It also reflects the influence of nutrient intake and nutrient
requirements. In short, it involves in addressing of important fundamental
questions: which gene, particularly those involved in the control of metabolism,
growth and differentiation, are regulated by nutrition, how do nutrients and diet
regulate the expression of genes, and how the expression of specific gene
products is involved in metabolism and channelling of nutrients.

CONCLUSION:
Now it has been accepted that the core of nutrition is integrative biology.
Nutrient and gene regulation is an important adaptation allowing survival or
energy conservation depending on qualitative and quantitative food supplies. This
adoptive process exist in all species from yeast to mammal including aquatic
species. This response to particular nutrient in term of gene transcription and
formation of functional protein varies accourding to species. Nutritionist need to
understand these responses to gain better insight of system physiology and
integrate this knowledge to formulate practically sustainable and economic diet
across species.
