Special Issue Information
Metabolic pathologies syndrome, also known as metabolic syndrome, and inflammatory diseases represent a public health problem worldwide. The latest studies propose that these pathologies may result from different pathophysiological mechanisms, which could be participating simultaneously. Among them, oxidative stress stands out, produced by the alteration of the balance between antioxidant mechanisms and the production of pro-oxidant molecules. Oxidative stress stimulates the production of cytokines (interleukin (IL) 6, Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α), IL-8 and IL-18, among others) that initiate an inflammatory response and thus an alteration in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. In addition, the increase in pro-oxidant secretion is suggested to be responsible for the generation of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and the alteration in insulin secretion by the α cells of the pancreas. The accumulation of pro-oxidant molecules in the body causes damage and induces the activation of specific pathways—both of these events lead to cell proliferation, dysfunction, adaptation or death.
Therefore, with regard to the latest advances in the detection of oxidative damage and the new bioactive compounds described in recent years, we consider it important to collect information on new advances in the treatment of this type of disease.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
