Understanding Dietary Intervention-Mediated Epigenetic Modifications in Metabolic Diseases.

abstract：:Histone proteins are dynamically modified to mediate a variety of cellular processes including gene transcription, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. Regulation of these processes occurs through the recruitment of non-histone proteins to chromatin by specific combinations of histone post-translational modifications (PT...
