Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a collection of multiple risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, including obesity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension and hyperuricemia. It is not a disease but a common complex entity that represents a worldwide epidemic and major public health concern, affecting approximately 30% of adults globally. Currently, the accurate pathogenesis of MS is still unclear, with central obesity and insulin resistance playing critical roles in initiating and perpetuating its pathologic features. To date, lifestyle interventions are still the main therapeutic strategies for the treatment of MS. Nowadays, increasing evidence suggests that marine natural products have effective ameliorative effects on MS-related metabolic abnormalities, explain their emergence as a potential preventive strategy for the syndrome. For this Special Issue, we invite original research papers and reviews on the current knowledge of the protective effects of marine natural products on metabolic syndrome and related metabolic abnormalities.
