Both the initiation and resolution phases of inflammation are under strong dietary control. The goal of Metabolic Engineering® is to discover the appropriate balance of nutrients and what levels are required to manage the inflammatory response for maintaining optimal health and slowing aging.
Understanding the role of nutrients and their impact on hormonal responses and the expression of gene transcription factors that control inflammatory response is the foundation of Metabolic Engineering®. At the Foundation, we are focused on three areas key areas of Metabolic Engineering®.
- The effect of dietary composition for reprogramming metabolism via hormonal and epigenetic changes.
- Impact of dietary omega-3 fatty acids on both the initiation and resolution phases of the inflammatory response.
- Impact of dietary polyphenols on the activation of gene transcription factors to orchestrate repair of tissue damaged by inflammation.
