Abstract: Dietary intake of nucleosides and nucleotides plays an important role in maintaining the functions of bone marrow hematopoietic cells, intestinal mucosa and brain. Food is one of the major supply sources of nucleosides and nucleotides for human body. In this article, the physiological functions of nucleosides and nucleotides in immune, metabolism, and hepatic, cardiovascular and nerve systems and anti-virus and anti-bacteria activity are reviewed.

Key words: dietary food, nucleoside, nucleotide, pharmacological activity
