Nutrigenetics concerns individual differences in the reaction to food based on the genetic factors. Nutrigenomics analyses direct influences of nutrients on gene expression. Both terms are explained in our review article. Nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics require a deep understanding of nutrition, genetics and biochemistry and of new ‘omic’ technologies. It is often difficult to appreciate their relevance in the practice of preventive approaches for optimizing health, delaying onset of disease and diminishing its severity. This paper represents a review about the current research on Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics, and provide scientific data for a new integrated clinical approach.
Introduction: Actinic keratoses (AKs) are humans' most common keratinocyte- derived precancerous lesions. They can be observed predominantly in fair-skinned individuals on sun-exposed surfaces. Another name for AKs is solar keratosis. The primary risk factor for AKs is cumulative UV exposure from sunlight and/or tanning salons. AKs may present on a patient as a few detectable lesions. Clinically, they present as scaly erythema lesions with various pigmentations. Surgery treatment is the only approach that can definitively resolve the illness. Methods: The research aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of treating relapsing AKs through the use of factors present during organogenesis extracted from zebrafish caviar conveyed through a cryopass therapy device (cryolaser phoresis). These factors are peptides present during specific phases of organogenesis and have shown the capacity to reverse cancer and neurodegeneration processes through gene, transcriptional, translational, and post-translational regulation. Results: We found that 90% of patients responded. The percentage of responding patients was 100% among females and 80% among men. Conclusion: Our results confirm previous findings about the effectiveness of stem cell differentiation stage factors (SCDFs) in cancer and open new ways to integrate treatment.
Hearing dysfunctions can be classified by type, degree, configuration, time of onset, aetiology, and finally, consequences on speech development. They can be divided into conductive, mixed, central types and sensorineural. Conductive hearing loss (CHL) results from interference with the mechanical transmission of sound through the external and middle ear; it can be congenital, as a consequence of anatomic abnormalities, but it can commonly be acquired following middle ear inflammatory pathologies. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) results from failure to transduce vibrations to neural impulses in the cochlean and is a consequence of an irreversible damage to the differentiated cells which make up the organ of hearing and the acoustic paths at various levels. Mixed hearing loss involves a combination of these two types in the same ear. Studies in neuroscience field have shown that the prevention of cell degeneration is only possible if all the factors taken at the different stages of stem cells’ multiplication and differentiation are administered together. We have demonstrated this in a recent study on the ability of SCDSFs to prevent neurodegeneration in hippocampal cells of the CA1 zone in mice. This study confirms previous findings demonstrating that early developmental zebrafish embryo extracts could act as a modulator of senescence in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) isolated from many adult tissues. These findings have open a promising way for the approaches promoting the rejuvenation and regeneration of different tissues, by-passing stem cell transplantation. In the present clinical trial we have used SCDSFs to study the possible reversion of neurosensory hearing loss, until now considered an irreversible condition.
