"Nutrient-Drug Interactions" focuses on the major issues regarding the treatment of conditions and the targets of therapy. It provides an in-depth examination of macronutrient, micronutrient, and phytochemical impacts on drug action. The author suggests diet modifications in instances where a given drug may affect nutritional status. The presentation emphasizes the molecular mechanisms by which the food or chemical is thought to modify drug behavior, describing precise molecular targets such as the regulation of gene expression. It also explains the roles of genetic variation and polymorphism in determining nutrient/drug responses and how individuals might be predetermined to show specific interactions.
