Nutrients Can Be Used to Compensate for Some Gaps in Our

Nutrients can be used to compensate for some gaps in our DNA.For example:

A) Individuals with a change in the base sequence for the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene can correct the sequence of bases by eating a lot of phenylalanine.
B) Obese individuals can lose body weight by eating fewer calories than they expend.
C) Omega-3 fatty acids can upregulate genes encoding for fat oxidation.
D) Individuals with a polymorphism that decreases activity of a folate-metabolizing enzyme, methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase, may have more elevated plasma homocysteine than those with a normal enzyme while more folate intake can normalize plasma homocysteine for those with this polymorphism.
