Conclusion
3 Nutrigenomics
Nutrigenomics is the study of molecular relationships between nutritional stimuli and the response of the genes (Chavez et al., 2003).
Term described by Nancy Fogg Johnson and Alex Meroli (1999).
Nutritional genomics is a science which deals with role of nutrient in gene expression or their inter-relationship (Della Penna, 1999).
4 Cont...
Advancement in nutritional science discovered that nutrients or their metabolites can regulate various body functions directly or by stimulating or inactivating specific regulators (Mariman, 2006).
New areas of research like genomics, proteomics, metabolomics & bio-informatics (Daniel, 2002).
Emerging face of molecular nutrition to improve animal health and production.

Nutrigenomics & Nutrigenetics: Two Sides of a Coin
Nutrigenomics: the application of genomics in nutritional research, eg. The way in which food ingredients influence the gene
Nutrigenetics: study of individual differences at the genetic level influencing genetic response.
Differences at SNP level
Mutch , et al. (2005)

These processes are controlled by the basic genetic make-up, external factors such as
Disease Environmental toxins or specific nutrients
Effect of a specific nutrient on animal performance/physiology Vs. specific messenger RNA (mRNA) from tissue at any stage.
Amount of mRNA present relates to the relative amount of copies of known genes, measured by using gene chips.
Using contrasting colour labels, it can be determined if a gene is “up-regulated”, “down-regulated” or “unaffected” as a result of a specific dietary manipulation.
8BASIC TOOLS
TRANSCRIPTOMICS Approach in which mRNA, and consequently gene expression is
analyzed in a biological sample under certain conditions at given point of time
METABOLOMICSQuantitative analysis of all metabolites in a biological
system such as cell, tissue or biological fluid (blood, plasma
and saliva)
PROTEOMICS Take this analysis further and
aims to characterize all proteins in a biological sample at the
functional level

Zinc is required for the structural and functional integrity of over 2000 transcription factors (Kwun,2004)
The most important functions in livestock are those that become limiting to health and production when they are deprived of zinc. There are four outstanding, interconnected candidates.
1) Gene expression
2) Appetite control
3) Fat absorption
4) Antioxidant defence (Suttle,2005)
Nutrigenomic perspective
11Metallothionein
Cysteine-rich cytosolic proteins Low molecular weight (MW ranging from 500 to14000 Da) proteins. Localized to the membrane of the Golgi apparatus Bind both physiological (such as zinc, copper, selenium)
and xenobiotic (such as cadmium, mercury, silver, arsenic) heavy metals There are four main isoforms expressed; MT1 (subtypes A, B, E, F, G, H,
L, M, X), MT2, MT3, MT4 Mammalian MT binds three Zn(II) ions in its beta domain and four in the
alpha domain.
12 Zinc: Role in genome stability
Zinc plays pivotal role in maintenance of genomic stability, genetic expression and apoptosis modulation (Almendro et al., 2011).
Deficiency of Zn can cause changes into the DNA similar to what is seen after radiation exposure (Rosa et al., 2011).
Zn is integral part of DNA repair protein OGG1 which repairs oxidized guanine in DNA. Its dysregulation leads to point mutations and down regulation of gene expression (Thomas et al.,2015).
13Zn is involved in regulation of small intestinal, thymus
and hepatocytes gene expression

26Selenome
Biochemical unit that determines much of the functional activity of Se
It includes proteins involved
a. In synthesis of selenocysteine tRNA
b. In incorporation of selenocysteine during translation

Se is incorporated into 25 selenoproteins
27Selenoproteins & their synthesis
Major function: Protection from oxidative stress, roles in redox state, thyroid metabolism, stress response, inflammation
Recoding of the UGA codon to incorporate Sec requires a specific stem-loop structure ‘SECIS’
Se incorporation requires specific selenocysteyl-tRNA (tRNA-Sec) Sec is synthesized directly on tRNA from selenide, ATP & seryl-
tRNA

expression in acute phase response
• Ample Se is needed as a substrate in the form of selenocysteine-loaded tRNA in order to support the biosynthesis of selenoproteins
• SEPS is connected to physiological pathways that modulate inflammation e.g. NF-kB, JNK activation & induction of acute phase proteins

43Conclusion
Nutrigenomics is an emerging face of molecular nutrition to improve animal health and production
Nutrigenomic application unravelled the mechanism involved in Zn-gene and Se-gene interaction that can potentially influence the pattern of mettalothonien and selenoprotein synthesis respectively.
Transcriptomic studies shows that Zinc alters expression of genes as well as plays a pivotal role in genome stability.
Transcriptomic studies shows that Selenium alters expression of genes involved in apoptosis and cell cycle control.
Nutrigenomics studies related to Zinc and Selenium are required in different class of animals to unravel various mechanisms in order to improve health and production of animals.
