| description | When changes in the environment, specifically in energy availability or energy expenditure, occur at a greater rate than the ability of the genome or the epigenome to keep pace, the result may manifest as a metabolic disorder. The obvious solutions are, to either recreate the ancestral environment with regard to energy consumption/expenditure and/or, to intervene epigenetically or pharmacologically, in terms of food supplementation or medicines in order to modulate and closely align the genome/epigenome to energy consumption/expenditure in the current environment. The genome and the epigenome appear to play an important role in the predisposition to, and to the development and persistence of the metabolic syndrome in recent times. The epigenomic component of this puzzle appears to be capable of significant modulation by dietary habits and food components. |
