Epigenetic Regulation Targets

Meaning

Epigenetic regulation targets are specific regions of the genome or associated protein structures, like histones, that are susceptible to modification without altering the underlying DNA sequence, thereby influencing gene expression. In hormonal health, these targets include methylation sites or non-coding RNA sequences that can be modulated by lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental factors to optimize the production or action of key endocrine compounds. Clinically, identifying these targets offers a pathway for non-pharmacological intervention to restore hormonal balance and cellular function.
