Nutrition and Metabolism in Human Diseases 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Nutrition and metabolism are critical life-sustaining parts of human health. The nutritional and metabolic status profoundly affects the function and activity of the endocrine and immune systems. Malnutrition and the disruption of metabolic processes widely affect and exacerbate various health problems, including chronic diseases, infectious diseases, and death. On the contrary, interventions with specific nutrients or metabolites are effective in disease prevention and management. Many basic metabolic pathways are evolutionarily conserved due to their fundamental roles in vastly different species, which make it possible to use model organisms to study the interaction among nutrition, metabolism, and the pathological processes of diseases. Recent advances in nutritional evaluation, metabolic profiling, the establishment of animal models, and the development of novel analytical methods have provided insights into the basis of nutrition- and metabolism-related diseases. However, many theoretical and clinical issues remain to be explored. Therefore, for this Special Issue, we welcome high-quality original research papers and reviews in the fields of nutrition and metabolism.

We welcome submissions on research across various diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and any other diseases related to nutrition and metabolism. The topics that will be covered include but are not limited to studies on the nutritional intervention for disease prevention and management, mechanisms of nutrient- and metabolite-regulated pathological processes, animal models for nutrition and disease, methodologies for the characterization of the metabolic status in disease, and causality between nutritional or metabolic factors and diseases.

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.
