Nutrition, Exercise and Epigenetics: Ageing Interventions

Nutrition, Exercise and Epigenetics: Ageing Interventions edited by Byung Pal Yu.

This book focuses on the three most important aspects of ageing research: nutrition, physical exercise and epigenetics. The contributors discuss ways that age-related epigenetic imprints such as DNA methylation and histone acetylation are modified by these two interventions. The emphasis on epigenet...
