Low-grade inflammation and metabolic dysfunction at the level of the liver and adipose tissue are involved in the development of many chronic diseases. Nutrigenomics or imaging tools could help to map the mechanisms by which diet affects low-grade inflammation and/or metabolic dysfunction as well as reveal early biomarkers indicative of such mechanisms.
