What does this mean? What are genetic expressions?

The different sources of the breaking news came from a study conducted on two-hundred mice, published by the National Institutes of Health, July 5, 2022.  The aim of the study was to provide data, over time, regarding the beneficial outcomes of consuming grapes, for this purpose grape skin powder, where the type of grape was not specified.  

There has been a growing body of evidence suggesting that fruits and vegetables can influence epigenetics by increasing or silencing genetic expression. In other words, the expression of antioxidant phase II metabolism can be increased by fruits and vegetables providing the body with much less oxidative stress.

What are epigenetics?
“the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself.” (Oxford Dictionary).

The study was conducted to find a more specific outcome from one fruit for this trial. The grape has been receiving wide-ranging attention in many studies which are very extensive. The study highlighted here was focused on a Western, high-fat diet (not healthy fats) rich in saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, and salt which all lead to metabolic syndrome.

Not only is a western diet associated with numerous diseases of the heart, it is also linked to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. A western diet is also a hallmark for approximately a 34% reduction in lifespan.

Notable outcomes of the study:
The addition of grapes to a high-fat diet yields a genetic expression more similar to a standard diet
Grape supplementation reduces histological signs of fatty liver
Addition of grapes to the diet caused an uptick in genetic response for metabolism, transportation, hydrolysis and sequestration of fatty acids
Enhanced genetic response elements for antioxidants
Life-long addition of grapes to the diet increased longevity
