Cell metabolism sustains life in all living organisms and encapsulates the chemical reactions that facilitate the conversion of exogenous and endogenous small molecules into stored energy as ATP and the building blocks of new cells and tissues that include nucleic acids, amino acids, oligonucleotide...

Aims The “Lipid Metabolism” section accepts manuscripts of original research and high-quality reviews on all aspects of lipid metabolism, including lipoproteins, with a particular focus on biomarkers of risk. This section accepts research papers on the clinical significance of plasma li...

Aims ‘Nutrition and Metabolism’ covers original research papers and reviews on all aspects of nutrition research, with a particular focus on the metabolic processing of nutrition, drugs and environmental substances that are orally consumed, and their effect on the cellular signaling pat...

This section of the journal will focus on studies that investigate the interactions between metabolites and lipids with other complex networks in living organisms, such as the proteome, transcriptome, and genome. Of particular interest will be studies that advance our understanding of how these intr...

This section of Metabolites is focused on the change in and/or occurrence of small molecule metabolites in in vitro and in vivo systems triggered by drugs and other xenobiotics. This ranges from classic metabolism studied in new compounds to new and emerging tools as well as toxicometabolomics studi...

This section covers original research papers and high-quality reviews on all aspects of microbiological and ecological metabolomics research. Research that characterizes the health, composition, or physiology of complex wildlife communities in health or disease, changes in wild animal physiology, in...

Metabolomics within plant science involves the large-scale study of small molecules, also known as metabolites (polar and lipophilic primary metabolites, secondary metabolites, and volatiles), within plant tissues, inclusive of root, stem and leaf tissues, as well as grains/seeds and fruits. Plant m...

Food Metabolomics provides the results of original research on the physical, chemical, biological and health aspects of food science and technology, and includes reviews related to food science, with a particular focus on the biological roles of metabolites and small molecule biomarkers. This s...

The ‘Animal metabolism’ section publishes original research articles and review articles on metabolic events in animal feeding, breeding, growth, health, and performance, with a particular focus on the biological roles of metabolites and small-molecule biomarkers. These metabolic events ...

Understanding the complex interactions between biological systems and environmental changes, natural or anthropogenic, is a major research challenge. While traditional environmental and organism health monitoring techniques (e.g. chemical monitoring and bioassays) provide some insight, they often fa...

The metabolomics profiling technology edition will focus on manuscripts related to new emerging technologies in metabolomics profiling, methodologies for improving sample preparation techniques, and analytical approaches to overcome metabolomics profiling. In addition, this edition is interested in ...

Metabolomics experiments are generating increasingly large and complex datasets, posing significant bioinformatic, statistical, and computational problems. This section of the journal Metabolites aims to rapidly publish original contributions and reviews on all aspects of bioinformatics and data ana...

Metabolites and metabolism have long been key parts of endocrinology and clinical metabolic research. This section of Metabolites now provides a venue to focus on these areas of investigation. In addition to those areas of traditional interest, such as precision medicine, biomarker discovery and inb...

Metabolomics is a multidisciplinary and multipurpose approach that provides a holistic view of the concentration of molecules in complex matrices, and has potential applications in several fields, encompassing biochemistry, biology, biomedicine, and agricultural sciences. In the past two decades, me...

Thematic Reviews provide concise updates on the current frontiers of Metabolism and Metabolomics. Generally, all thematic reviews will be by invitation only, and subjects are chosen by the Metabolites Academic Editor. If, however, other scholars are interested in submitting a review, authors could s...
