Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
Exercise is one of the major strategies to protect and improve metabolic disease induced by a sedentary lifestyle, abnormal diet, and aging. People perform various exercise types, leading to numerous molecular and cellular alterations. These changes enhance cellular metabolism and functions in tissues including skeletal muscle, liver, heart, adipose tissue, brain, and others. Exercise also enhances the interplay between cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Numerous molecules are involved in the interaction, and their crosstalk can facilitate metabolic rate and function to support energy in contracting muscle. In addition, regular exercise training leads to molecular and cellular adaptations, which can help to protect and improve health against various diseases. Understanding molecular and cellular mechanisms that are induced by various exercise types can provide more advanced treatment to improve sports performance or health. In addition, the exercise-induced molecular pathway can be targeted to prevent and treat metabolic disease patients who are unable to perform exercise training regularly. We are interested in metabolic molecules, such as PPARβ/δ, PGC-1α, AMPK, and any other molecules that are linked to metabolic function. We are also interested in not only mitochondrial function that is induced by a specific molecule with exercise but also certain metabolites, anti-inflammatory peptides, and RNA species, termed as exerkines, that are released in response to exercise and which could promote healthy systemic energy homeostasis via signaling and interplay between cells, tissues, and organs.
Thus, this Special Issue entitled ‘Molecular and Cellular Exercise Physiology in Metabolism’ will discuss the recent advances in metabolic molecular mechanisms that are induced by exercise to understand exercise physiology and treat a health problem. Topics related to both original and reviewed articles are welcome.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
