The epigenetic diet. Dietary compounds can affect all main elements of the cellular epigenetic profile: DNA methylation, histone modification, and the action of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) resulting in changes in transcription and/or translation and finally, the ultimate product of gene expression: protein or RNA. M denotes a methyl group and Ac denotes an acetyl group. The dietary products presented in the picture symbolically represent the epigenetic diet and do not necessarily reflect their actual ability to modify the epigenetic profile.
