Few decades ago, several studies have described well the relation that exists between dietary habits and chronic disease, therefore the critical part of prevention disease strategy has consisted of changing the dietary habits. However, it has not been had into consideration that nutrients oi diets interact with genes. Thanks to development of nutrigenetics, and nutrigenomics the tuture dietary recommendations will have in consideration the interaction between genes and nutrients. The nutrigenetics study the influence of genetic variability in nutrient respond (interaction Gen--> Nutrient). In other hand, the nutrigenomics study the influence of nutrient in gene expression (interaction Nutrlent --> Gen). Both disciplines give rise to a new era "Molecular Nutrition" . The íncreasing knowledge of interaction gene-nutrient promises to revolutionize the handling of chronic diseases. It...

The maín objectíve of this study was to evaluate the genotype frequency for the presence of the Alu TPA-25 insertíon in fue 8 intron of the tíssue plasminogen activator gene (TPA) in a population of 50 students belonging to the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry from the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. It was used the Polimerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in order to amplify the region containing the Alu insertion and to determine the presence of TPA-25. The genotype frequency was determined by count of the presence or absence of the Alu insertion and then, evaluated across the test of Chi-square (X2) to know if they were in Hardy-Weinberg's balance. The genotype frequency for the presence of TPA-25 was in Hardy-Weínberg's balance (X2= 1.366, P = 0.505): homocigote 0.108, heterocigote 0.568 and homocigote absence 0.324. In conclusion, in the studied population exists a predomi...
