Nutrition 'a la carte' to prevent obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer
300 experts will analyze this topic in the IV International congress of the Society of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics, co-organized by the University of Navarra.
The IV International congress of the Society for Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics (ISNN) will bring together nearly 300 experts from all over the world on November 18, 19 and 20 at the Baluarte Conference Center in Pamplona. The meeting, co-organized by the University of Navarra, will bring together the leading specialists in the fields of Nutrigenomics, Nutrigenetics and Nutritional Epigenomics, sciences that represent the future of the prevention and treatment of most diseases.
"The goal is to offer the latest research in this novel field of personalized nutrition, which influences the development of obesity and other pathologies," highlights Alfredo Martínez, Full Professor of Nutrition and president of congress.
Why is it that if two people eat the same food, one gets fat and the other does not? Why is it that if they do the same physical activity subject , one is more beneficial than the other? Why do genetically identical twins show differences according to the environment in which they have lived? Personalized nutrition is a concept that tries to apply what is known about the genetic variations of each individual and their interaction with the environment, especially with the per diem expenses and other related factors, allowing to prevent the development of certain diseases. The main pathologies that will be addressed at reference letter during the congress are obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and inflammation.
The congress will analyze the role of per diem expenses, lifestyle, maternal and paternal influence, stress, metabolic diseases, etc. in the regulation of gene expression, cellular metabolism and the probability of suffering various diseases; as well as the role of some circumstances that affect the reading of the genome, including mutations or polymorphisms, and the tendency to develop different pathologies. The connection between various bioactive compounds in food and cellular processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress or hormone regulation will also be addressed.
Keynote speakers
Speakers include Artemis P. Simopoulos, former White House advisor on nutrition subject , mother of the "per diem expenses Omega" and specialist in Mediterranean per diem expenses ; Claude Bouchard, director executive of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center (Louisiana State University), pioneer in genetic programs of study in the exercise sciences and the researcher with the most scientific publications on obesity in the world; Mike Gibney, professor at the UCD Insitute of Food and Health in Dublin (Ireland) and Europe's leading expert in the study of obesity and per diem expenses using the novel technology of metabolomics; Frank B. Hu (Harvard University), a specialist in the influence of per diem expenses and lifestyle on obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease; and Peter Arner (high school Karolinska, Stockholm), a member of the committee Nobel Laureate, who studies the influence of Genetics in relation to diabetes subject 2 and obesity.
