Background/objectives: Nutrigenetics investigates the role of genetic variants that contribute to the inter-individual variation in response to food intake. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are influenced by the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors, including the diet. The aim of this scoping review is to analyze the literature on the effect of genotypes on the response to dietary interventions for the treatment of CVD risk factors.

Known nuclear bodies include the nucleolus, Cajal bodies, and promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies. These bodies are involved in the concentration, exclusion, sequestration, assembly, modification, and recycling of specific components involved in the regulation of ribosome biogenesis, RNA transcription, and RNA processing.

Article Synopsis
- The placenta serves as a vital connection between the mother and developing fetus, offering protection, nutrient transport, and waste exchange.
- Some viruses possess the ability to invade the placenta, potentially causing harm like necrosis and complications for both the fetus and mother.
- Understanding these viral mechanisms can enhance research in maternal-fetal health and inform new therapeutic approaches and biomarkers for fetal development.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between macronutrient intake and bone mineral density (BMD) using non-substitution and substitution statistical approaches.
