Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Nutritional Modulation in Metabolic Syndrome: Combating Obesity and Vascular Disease”.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a multifactorial disturbance with a cluster of health issues that exacerbate each other, disrupting the body's homeostasis. Some of the main alterations include high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and abnormal cholesterol levels, which are commonly associated with cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. New nutritional, molecular, and mechanistic insights are crucial for developing new treatment options.
Metabolic syndrome and vascular diseases are often linked, harming individual and public health. Nutritional interventions, exercise, functional foods, nutraceuticals, and other specific therapies are essential for reducing and treating metabolic diseases, ultimately improving the quality of life.
This Special Issue aims to gather original research articles and review papers that evaluate the clinical relevance, experimental approaches, and biological activities of nutraceuticals, plants, dietary interventions, isolated compounds/active principles, and the mechanisms involved in metabolic syndrome, vascular diseases, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and related disorders.
