The metabolism of vitamin D
It is very likely that you have heard that vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin. From ADNTRO we want to reveal to you that it is a half-truth. It is a teamwork between our diet, our body and sunlight. First of all, we must know that there are different forms of vitamin D: Both of them are [...]
Guidelines in my recommended diet according to my genetics
There are several genes involved in metabolic pathways that influence the care of our line: the type of metabolism (thermogenesis), appetite (satiety) and the breakdown of triglycerides (lipolysis). Depending on the genetic variants that you present for each of these factors, it is suggested that you follow some guidelines or others in your diet. And this [...]
Characteristics of the Perfect Genome
Although on the outside people may seem very different, the truth is that, at a genetic level, the difference between two people is less than 0.1%. This means that, if our DNA is made up of 3,000 x 106 base pairs, two individuals will contain different genetic information approximately 30 million pairs of […]
Your ancestry composition in a worldwide context
THE RESULTS OF GENETIC COMPOSITION IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT - A COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF “TEXAS AT TYLER”. One of the main characteristics of ADNTRO is the description of the ancestral composition of each individual (together with the Metabolization of Vitamins, Sports, Behavior, Predisposition to Diseases…) etc., but all […]
