[HTML][HTML] Cellular defense system gene expression profiling of human whole blood: opportunities to predict health benefits in response to diet

JE Drew�- Advances in Nutrition, 2012 - Elsevier
Diet is a critical factor in the maintenance of human cellular defense systems, immunity,
inflammation, redox regulation, metabolism, and DNA repair that ensure optimal health and
reduce disease risk. Assessment of dietary modulation of cellular defense systems in
humans has been limited due to difficulties in accessing target tissues. Notably, peripheral
blood gene expression profiles associated with nonhematologic disease are detectable.
Coupled with recent innovations in gene expression technologies, gene expression profiling�…
