Nutrigenomics and Type 2 Diabetes: How Genetic Science Can Help Us Control the Disease.🧐

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the world. As cases increase, so do studies on how to effectively prevent and manage it. Traditionally, treatment has focused on lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, along with medications. However, nutrigenomics, the science of studying the interaction between genes and nutrients, is emerging as a powerful tool for personalizing the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Microbiota influences mood disorders 😞


At the Nutrigenomics Institute, we firmly believe in approaching health holistically: body, mind, and environment. The gut-brain axis , widely documented by the scientific community, reveals a two-way communication where the gut microbiota plays a central role.

A comprehensive review recently published in Cureus explores how microbiota influences mood disorders. The study highlights that certain gut bacteria—such as Bifidobacterium , Lactobacillus , and Escherichia —produce neurotransmitters (GABA, serotonin, dopamine, and other anti-inflammatory metabolites (SCFAs), affecting functions such as mood, anxiety management, sleep, and mental clarity ( PMC , Wikipedia ).

Why do people with higher body fat need more vitamin D?🤓


A team of researchers from Spain, Boston (USA), and Bubendorf (Switzerland) has delved into how adipocytes (fat cells) process vitamin D. The recently published findings reveal a key fact: vitamin D3 tends to remain trapped in fatty tissue.

Vitamin D, which we obtain through sun exposure or supplements, does not circulate freely throughout the body. Being a fat-soluble vitamin, it is stored primarily in body fat.

In the study, human adipocytes were cultured and administered both vitamin D3 (its original form) and its active metabolites (25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3).

The result was clear: vitamin D3 accumulates in fat and remains there for several days. In contrast, the active forms quickly enter cells but are eliminated within a few hours. Furthermore, when lipolysis (the process of fat breakdown) was stimulated, adipocytes released vitamin D3 to the outside.

This suggests that it is possible to mobilize some of this stored vitamin, but only under certain conditions such as fasting, exercise, or in states of deficiency.
