Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue "The Impact of Polyphenols on Metabolic Health and Disease" aims to emphasize the significant role played by polyphenols in the intervention (chemoprevention or treatment) of metabolic disease. The health-promoting properties of polyphenols in various chronic metabolic diseases have garnered significant attention in recent years. The mounting evidence suggests that the ingestion of polyphenols or their metabolites can effectively modulate metabolic disease by targeting REDOX signaling pathways, inflammatory signaling pathways, gut microbiota and the "gut–X" axis. Such diseases include, but are not limited to, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cardiovascular disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction, sleep disturbances, neurodegenerative conditions and others. The focal point of this Special Issue lies in exploring the impact and intricate molecular mechanisms of polyphenols in the intervention of metabolic dysfunction at the cellular, animal or clinical level, and we also encourage research on the intersection of nutrition, food science, pharmacy, biology, artificial intelligence and other disciplines. We cordially invite you to submit recent research articles or reviews that contribute to the elucidation of cutting-edge advancements in polyphenols and their pivotal role in promoting human health.
