Overview

Molecular mechanisms in nutrition encompass the biochemical and cellular processes through which dietary components influence gene expression, metabolism, and physiological function at the molecular level. Research published in the International Journal of Nutrition on this topic addresses several key areas where nutrients interact with biological systems. The journal has examined epigenetic modifications induced by nutritional factors, exploring how diet can alter gene regulation without changing DNA sequences. Work on the gut microbiota has investigated the complex molecular interactions between dietary intake and microbial communities that influence host metabolism and health outcomes. Studies have explored biogenic amines as bioactive compounds in foods, examining their molecular roles in both nutrition and toxicology, including their formation, metabolism, and physiological effects. The journal has also published research on functional foods, investigating the molecular basis for health-promoting properties of specific dietary components beyond basic nutrition. Additionally, applied research has examined how nutritional status at the molecular level relates to clinical outcomes in specific populations, including adolescents and pregnant women. Understanding these molecular mechanisms is essential for developing evidence-based dietary interventions and comprehending how nutrition influences disease risk and overall health.
