Personalized nutrition for Alzheimer's disease patients

Abstract

The research in molecular nutrition has allowed in this century have greater results to understand the effects of nutrients on molecular scales. Furthermore, chronic diseases have been investigated from a molecular aspect and interaction with micronutrients in the diet. In this sense, nutrigenomics science has allowed to understand the expression of gene networks and their interaction with micronutrients to know how this relates to certain chronic diseases and their prevention. This article presents some results of research of nutrigenomics Alzheimer in collaboration with the Alzheimer´s institute of Guanajuato, México. Also, a basic proposal of diet based on APOE, MTHFR, IL-6 and GPX1 genes and micronutrients (Omega 3, folate, vitamin B12 and selenium) involved in the gene expression.
