	National Diet Library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though the NDL's original mandate was to serve as a research library for the National Diet, the public at large is by far the largest consumer of the library's services.
		Moreover, because the NDL serves as a research library for Diet members, their staffs, and the general public, it maintains an extensive collection of materials published in foreign languages on a wide range of topics.
		The NDL houses the former Imperial Library's collection of Japanese language materials from the Edo Period (1603-1867) and earlier periods.

	Talk:Diet of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	PA-04-099: DIET, EPIGENETIC EVENTS, AND CANCER PREVENTION
		Interestingly, the continuous feeding of a diet deficient in choline and methionine is recognized to lead to global DNA hypomethylation and cause hepatocellular carcinomas in rats in the absence of any exogenous carcinogen.
		While long-term health implications remain to be determined, these studies demonstrate that feeding a methyl-supplemented diet to the mice increased levels of DNA methylation in the agouti LTR and increased the proportion of agouti to yellow mice.
		Diet, in fact, has been implicated in many of the pathways of cancer, including apoptosis, cell cycle control, differentiation, inflammation, angiogenesis, DNA repair, and carcinogen metabolism.

	KANSAI-KAN OF THE NATIONAL DIET LIBRARY Concept
		There is a role such as accumulation / preservation / regeneration / interchange / opening to the public of the culture, civilization as a fundamental function of the National Diet Library.
		As a public facility, a facility of "the wisdom" which faced and opend widely in the national whole, we catch roles as an entrance to "the world of the wisdom" and roles as support of sprouts of the children's "wisdom" as its important functions, too, and plan it actively.
		But, on the other hand, importance of actual paper media and importance of the actual library as "a place" are the points which can be never ignored, too.
