Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Metabolites focuses on evaluating the metabolic alterations in mice subjected to chronic exposure to toxic substances, including environmental contaminants and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The scope of this Special Issue covers comprehensive studies utilizing metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics, and advanced mass spectrometry to explore how these toxicants disrupt metabolic pathways. Research examining dose–response relationships, xenobiotic metabolism, and chronic toxicity assessment in murine models is particularly encouraged.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide new insights into the molecular toxicology of chronic exposure, helping to identify biomarkers for toxicological assessment and better understand the long-term health risks posed by environmental contaminants. By gathering cutting-edge research on metabolic responses to toxicant exposure, this Special Issue aims to further our understanding of how chronic environmental exposure affects health, with implications for both animal and human studies. Potential authors are invited to submit experimental and review articles that address these critical questions using innovative approaches and contribute to advancing the field of toxicology and environmental health.

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.
