Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic disorder refers to a cluster of metabolic abnormalities (i.e., insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure) that may occur in the same individual. The metabolic disorder is a rising global emergency. Metabolites and small molecules are arranged in biochemical pathways forming a large metabolic network that are regulated by various genetic and signaling networks.A better understanding of disease-associated metabolic pathways alterations may lead to the identification of new drugs and to the development of new therapies. Marine natural products are a source of antihypertensive, antioxidative, antithrombotic and antihyperglycemic agents possibly useful in the treatment or in the prevention of metabolic disorders. As Guest Editors, we invite researchers to provide recent advances in the attractive field of marine natural products targeting metabolic disorders.
