Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolomics, a systematic study of comprehensive identification and quantification of all the metabolites, is necessary to study the dynamics of the metabolome in metabolic pathways. Deciphering the role of each metabolite following various stimuli aims to find changes in the metabolic network that are functionally correlated with the physiological and developmental phenotype of a cell, tissue or organism. This provides molecular information that has potential applications in understanding pathogenesis. Metabolomics has been playing an important role in unraveling the pathophysiology and identifying early biomarkers of specific physiological responses of complex human diseases in particular metabolic syndrome.
Therefore, this special issue of “Metabolites” journal, “Metabolomics in complex diseases of man: Metabolic syndrome”, will be dedicated for publishing current advances in biomarker discovery and to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of complex human diseases especially focusing on metabolic syndrome using metabolomics tools. Thus I invite you all to contribute to this special issue by submitting your original research papers and review articles.

Submission
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed Open Access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is
500 CHF (Swiss Francs). English correction and/or formatting fees of 250 CHF (Swiss Francs) will be charged in certain cases for those articles accepted for publication that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections.
