Abstract

The gut microbiotagut microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining the physiological function of the gut, which is involved not only in digestiondigestion and absorption of nutrients, but also in major physiological processes such as the immune systemimmune system and protection against pathogenspathogens. Nutrigenomics examines the interaction between dietary nutrients and genes and provides new insights into the relationship among dietdiet, host genetics and gut microbiotamicrobiota, and how they interact to influence digestive healthdigestive health. This chapter looked into nutrigenomicsnutrigenomics, the gut microbiota, and how the two factors interact to influence digestive health. The role of the gut microbiota in human health and the composition and function of the gut microbiota are described first. The basic principles of nutrigenomics and how nutrigenomics influences gut microbiota compositionmicrobiota composition and function are then discussed. The influence of the gut microbiota on nutrigenomics and how dietary intervention can influence gut microbiota composition and gene expressiongene expression are also discussed. This chapter ends with a discussion about current research and the perspective of future studies on gut microbiota, nutrigenomics, and digestive health, highlighting possible directions for future research.
