Pozycja Open Access Epigenetics of reproduction(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Czubaszek, Magdalena; Andraszek, Katarzyna; Banaszewska, Dorota; Department of Animal Genetics and Horse Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Animal Genetics and Horse Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Breeding Methods and Poultry and Small Ruminant Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and HumanitiesEpigenetic research offers a significant opportunity to understand the role of environmental interactions on the genome and disease, while enabling modulation of these interactions in order to improve human health. Knowledge of both genetic and epigenetic changes is essential for identification of functional gametes and for fertility treatment. Future studies in both human and animal models may enable better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between altered DNA methylation in the sperm cell and infertility. It is currently unclear whether methylation defects found in the DNA of infertile sperm are primary or secondary defects. An understanding of what underlies DNA methylation disorders will be important for the development of successful fertility treatments. While epigenetic research will unquestionably expand our knowledge of general genetics, it is mainly valued for its innovative and comprehensive approach to molecular diagnostics and is directed towards clinical procedures.Pozycja Open Access Health-promoting properties of poultry meat in the context of diseases of civilization(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Woźniak, Eliza; Banaszewska, Dorota; Biesiada-Drzazga, Barbara; Department of Breeding Methods and Poultry and Small Ruminant Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and HumanitiesThe nutritional value and health-promoting properties of food are of increasing importance to the contemporary consumer. This is due to greater awareness of the link between diet and certain diseases of civilization. Consumption of meat and meat products, due to their nutritional and functional properties, can both cause and to some extent prevent diseases of civilization. Poultry meat, valued by consumers for its unique properties, is worthy of attention. It is an excellent source of easily assimilated, complete protein of high nutritional value. In comparison with other kinds of meat, poultry meat is easy to digest and less tough after cooking, because it contains fewer collagenous fibres. It also has fewer calories due to its low content of intramuscular fat. Poultry meat can be included in the diet of small children, pregnant women and elderly individuals, serving as an important source of protein and easily assimilated fat. Moreover, there is some evidence that its health-promoting properties may include reducing the risk of overweight and obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, e.g. of the mouth, oesophagus or stomach.
