Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of chronic conditions that leads to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. With a growing prevalence even in non-Western countries due to unhealthy lifestyles, metabolic syndrome is now a major global health burden. Total diet, as well as individual foods, macronutrients, and micronutrients, are implicated in both the development and treatment of metabolic syndrome. This Special Issue is focused on the role of nutrients in metabolic syndrome itself as well as in the disorder’s individual characteristics of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and abdominal obesity.
Research articles from both in vitro and in vivo studies are welcome, as are review articles reporting on the nexus between nutrients and metabolic syndrome. Articles describing the use of new genomic tools such as metabolomics and other “omics” methods, prospective diagnostic biomarkers, or nutrient-based intervention strategies would complete the topic.
