Molecular Nutrition Mechanisms of Cancer Prevention: A Volume in the Molecular Nutrition Series

Molecular Nutrition Mechanisms of Cancer Prevention: A Volume in the Molecular Nutrition Series addresses the relationship between nutrition and cancer at the molecular level. The book covers the epidemiologic evidence of the association between diet and cancer in all forms, including ovarian, breast, prostate and lung. Sections cover physiological factors, such as age, obesity and physical activity, as well as technological factors, such as bioavailability, processing, the molecular mechanisms of cancer prevention by cruciferous vegetables, cocoa, curcumin, garlic extracts, lycopene, resveratrol cancer, olive oil phenols, fiber, soy, calcium, selenium, broccoli sulphuraphane and vitamins which include epigenetic gene regulation. The regulation of DNA methylation and repair, proliferation of cancer cells, vitamin D receptor polymorphism, vitamins and DNA methylation is also covered, making this book is a welcomed resource for researchers, nutritionists, dieticians, health professionals and students. Links physiological concepts and their impact on cancer developmentProvides a summary of the novel and established interactions of diet and cancerHighlights the importance of the individual genotype that directs the interaction of diet and cancerDiscusses controversial topics, such as red meat and cancer riskPresents emerging topics relevant for cancer risk, such as microbiota and obesity INDICE: Part 1: The Intersection of Cancer and Molecular Nutrition 1.
