Nutrigenomics and liver diseases: what we know (with evidence)🧐

Why the liver is a “nutrigenomic territory”
The liver integrates signals from macronutrients , alcohol , microbiota , hormones , and inflammatory status , translating all of this into changes in gene expression , lipid/carbohydrate metabolism, oxidative stress, and tissue repair. Therefore, the “diet ↔ genes ↔ liver” relationship is especially potent in conditions such as MASLD/NAFLD , fibrosis , and, in the long term, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) .

Genetics and anti-aging: what genes (really) say about living longer and aging better. 🧐
The term “anti-aging” is frequently used, but in science, the terms longevity (living longer) and healthspan (living longer with good physical and cognitive function) are more common . Genetics plays a role , yes, but it’s not destiny : in humans, longevity is a polygenic trait , with many small effects, and is highly modulated by lifestyle and environment. Even so, research has identified genes and biological pathways that are repeated time and again.

Genetics and sport: a sport for every genetic makeup?⚽️


Athletic performance doesn’t depend solely on training: there is scientific evidence that genes play a significant role . According to a review, more than 200 genetic variants have been associated with physical performance.
However, there is no “magic variant” : rather, many genes , each with a small contribution, can together influence traits such as strength, endurance, power, aerobic capacity, etc.
In addition to genes, environmental factors—training, nutrition, motivation, lifestyle, social environment, and resources—play a fundamental role.

Genetics and Macular Degeneration: Understanding the Influence of DNA on Vision Loss.🧐

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula—the central region of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision—and is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss in people over 60 worldwide. Although factors such as smoking, diet, and lifestyle play a role, genetics has been recognized as one of the most significant determinants in the development and progression of the disease.

Menopause, Genetics and Personalized Nutrition: An Integrated View.🧐

Menopause is an inevitable biological stage, but the timing and experience of it vary profoundly among women . Today we know that these differences depend not only on lifestyle, but also on genetics and how nutrition can interact with our genes through nutrigenomics .🤓

Chronic kidney disease: early detection and its genetic risk.🤓

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately one in seven adults . Of those cases, it is estimated that two out of three patients are unaware they have it .

This condition involves a progressive loss of the kidneys’ ability to filter blood efficiently.

Since CKD often develops without obvious symptoms in its early stages, the key factors for successfully dealing with it are information, prevention, and—where appropriate—a comprehensive approach to treatment.
