Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbohydrate-restricted and ketogenic diets are becoming increasingly popular not only for the management of obesity, diabetes, and epilepsy but also for many other chronic metabolic conditions. The myriad mechanisms through which carbohydrate restriction might be uniquely advantageous, or disadvantageous, for impacting states of health and disease deserves further exploration.
This Special Issue of Metabolites will publish reviews and original articles covering the latest developments on the effects of carbohydrate restriction on the metabolome and the physiological consequences. A short list of compounds that appear of particular interest to this area of research includes adiponectin, leptin, and other adipokines, apolipoproteins and lipids, angiopoietin-like proteins and another hepatocyte, fibroblast growth factors, and sex-hormone binding globulin, although this is by no means a comprehensive list.
We are open to receiving original human or animal research, case series, or review, perspective, and hypothesis manuscripts. All submissions should emphasize biological and metabolic mechanisms, and authors should attempt to delineate, not only what their work contributes to the literature, but also the boundaries of present knowledge on their topic and the important questions that remain to be answered. Given the mechanistic emphasis of this topic, 1 – 2 central guiding figures highlighting proposed mechanisms are encouraged.
Dr. Nicholas G. Norwitz
Guest Editor
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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
