Toxicogenetics and Nutrigenetics: Biomarkers in Occupational Medicine and Litigation

Pages 567-573 | Published online: 17 Dec 2007
 

Abstract

Along with other ‘omic‘ technologies, advances in nutritional genomics are likely to lead to increasing personalization in the area of nutrition, diet and health. The power of nutrients to modulate the toxicity of environmental pollutants and the importance of nutritional status in determining longer-term health outcomes may be of major benefit in occupational health and preventive medicine. Advances in metabolomics offer the promise of validating important intermediate and surrogate markers for use in medical monitoring.
