Development of Nutrition
Empirical healing of some diseases by certain
foods
Deficiency diseases identified essential
nutrient concepts
Discovery, isolation, structure elucidation, and
synthesis
First Commercial Synthesis, 1933
1943, First RDA
Establishment of biochemical functions, dietary
requirements, commercial production
1500 BC 1880 1900 1920 1940 1960 1980 2000

Chronic Diseases Are Different
  • Acute diseases
  • Specific organisms
  • Magic bullets
  • Cause effect close in time
  • Occur at all ages
  • Chronic diseases
  • Multifactorial
  • Prevention
  • Temporal disconnect
  • Occur more frequently in older individuals

Many Compounds
  • Carotenoids, Tocopherols, Flavonoids, Tannins,
    Glucosinolates, Indoles, Sulfides Thiols,
    Isothiocyanates, Phenols, Isoflavones, Saponins
  • Prebiotics, Probiotics, Fibers
  • Phytosterols, CLA, 1,3-DAG, DHA, EPA,
    Sphingolipids, Structured lipids
  • Bioactive peptides, Arginine, Glutamine, N-Acetyl
    Cysteine

9
Many Systems Processes
  • Liver intestine
  • Lipoprotein production metabolism
  • Peripheral tissues
  • Glucose, amino acid lipoprotein use
  • Adipose hormone release
  • Blood flow
  • Vascular biology
  • Responsiveness
  • Permeability retention
  • Immune function
  • Disease resistance
  • Systemic inflammation

10
Many Modes of Action
  • Chemical Antioxidant
  • Biological Antioxidant
  • altered enzyme activities e.g. lipoxygenase
  • Altered Metabolism Signaling
  • competition for enzyme systems
  • grapefruit juice Ca channel blockers
  • quercetin, estrogen SAM
  • altered protein synthesis
  • P-gp transmembrane protein cytotoxin efflux
  • altered transport(ers)
  • altered signaling though nuclear receptors
    messengers
  • PPAR, FXR, LXR
  • Eicosanoids, resolvins

  • Nutrition is the science that interprets the
    relationship of food to the functioning of the
    living organism.
  • R.L. Pike M.L. Brown, 1975

13
Nutrition Foods in the 21st Century
  • Driven by omic information
  • Human
  • Animal
  • Microbial
  • Plant
  • Individualization of food choices
  • Focus on health rather than simple disease or
    deficiency prevention

14
Informatics
  • Develop technology to measure everything
  • Build a quantitative database
  • Test hypotheses on database

Metabolites
Activity
Proteins
Complexity
Genes
15
Metabolomics
  • Resources Activities Needed
  • Database development
  • Computing power
  • Model development
  • Standardized analytical protocols
  • Data integration storage
  • Predictive tools
  • Data visualization

16
Practical Example
  • Analysis of Plasma Lipids during an Oral Glucose
    Tolerance Test in Old Young Humans
  • Subjects
  • Group 1 healthy 20-40 yo
  • Group 2 healthy 65 yo
  • Protocol
  • 12h fast
  • Whole body DEXA scan
  • MRS scan of liver and soleus muscle, fat
  • 2h Oral GT test
  • Blood taken _at_ -15, 0, 30, 60, 90 120 min

Lipids
  • An attractive target for Metabolomics
  • Analytical platform well established
  • Rigorous quantitation possible
  • Metabolic pathways well known
  • Unique capabilities
  • Retains diet characteristics with ingestion
  • Reflects further metabolism of dietary components
    as well as endogenous metabolism

Metabolomics to Enable Health Promotion
  • Identify
  • Metabolic defect/gain caused by diets or
    interventions
  • Adverse drug reactions
  • Global surrogate markers
  • Pre-trial characterization of clinical
    populations
  • Compliance monitoring
  • Discover
  • Pathways supporting systemic organ specific
    actions
  • Global integration to predict outcomes
  • Diagnostics
  • Metabolic definition of state change of state
  • Document efficacy
  • Rational intervention design
