NUTRIENT INTAKE, EPIGENETICS AND ASTHMA
External insults can stimulate epigenetic changes via three main mechanisms: DNA methylation, histone modification (posttranscriptional histone modification, ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes), and small and noncoding RNAs, which could play a critical role in T cell differentiation and novel aspects of asthma progression
APPLICATION OF METABOLOMICS IN PEDIATRIC ASTHMA: PREDICTION, DIAGNOSIS AND PERSONALIZED TREATMENT
Metabolic profiling is appropriate for the study of complex diseases with a genetic and environmental etiology such as asthma because it has the potential to capture the history of the cellular response to past exposures.
EFFICACY OF A MEDITERRANEAN DIET SUPPLEMENTED WITH FATTY FISH IN AMELIORATING INFLAMMATION IN PAEDIATRIC ASTHMA: A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease caused by genetic and environmental factors. A multitude of environmental factors have been associated with asthma risk, namely respiratory infections, smoking, pollution, pet hair, house dust mites, mould and diet. There is evidence that diet can influence the development and progression of asthma in children.
THE PROPHYLACTIC AND THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF VITAMIN D IN ASTHMA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE NEW HOPE?
Vitamin D is found in sun exposure and fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines), egg yolk, mushrooms, beef liver, vitamin D-enriched foods such as milk, cheese, yogurts, juices and cereals.
