Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glucose dysregulation contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease through the emergence of metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, which are becoming increasingly prevalent. The brain, specifically the brainstem and hypothalamus, contains neural networks that regulate glucose homeostasis and play a crucial role in metabolism and cardiovascular function. The aim of this Special Issue of Metabolites is to examine the intricate relationship between glucose homeostasis and cardiovascular function within the context of brain neural networks and metabolic dysregulation. The scope of the issue includes, but is not limited to, research on how changes in brain glucose-regulating pathways affect the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, the release of hormones and neurotransmitters, inflammation, oxidative stress, appetite, satiety, and energy metabolism in relation to cardiovascular function in both health and disease.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to present a collection of original research articles and reviews toward enabling a comprehensive understanding of the main theme.

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.
