Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue, “Relationship of Micronutrients and Dietary Components with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)”, is to publish a focused, coherent, impactful, and well-cited volume on how micronutrients and other dietary components influence metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) such as their roles in preventing and treating MASLD and investigations on the underlying mechanisms. Micronutrients play important roles in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress as well as in metabolism and maintaining tissue functions. Thus, elucidating the relationships and underlying mechanisms of micronutrients and other dietary components on MASLD (newly defined; steatotic liver disease with the presence of at least one of five cardiometabolic risk factors) would help prevent and treat MASLD. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide rigorous evidence from novel experimental, clinical, and observational studies that support the associations or influences of micronutrients and other dietary components on MASLD. Articles of basic science nature, animal studies, clinical/translational studies, epidemiological studies, meta-analyses, and behavioral studies are acceptable. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Effects or associations of dietary micronutrients and other dietary components or supplements or circulating micronutrients on MASLD.
- Effects of dietary micronutrients and other components on inflammation in MASLD.
- Protective role of dietary micronutrients and other components of diet against the development of MASLD.
- Cellular, molecular, and epigenetic pathways that reflect how micronutrients and other dietary components influence MASLD.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short 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 thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
