Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Considering the success of the previous Special Issue, entitled “Fat-Soluble Vitamins for Disease Prevention and Management” (from which we published 10 papers), we are pleased to announce that we are launching a second Special Issue on this topic.
In this Special Issue of Nutrients, we would like to bring together papers focusing on the topic of the influence of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) on health outcomes. Fat-soluble micronutrient deficiencies have been associated with unfavorable health outcomes and various diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular and liver diseases.
Fat-soluble vitamins have a multitude of functions, including important immunomodulatory, inflammatory, and antioxidant-related processes, and deficiencies in these vitamins can contribute to, amongst others, the weakening of the immune system. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body and, unlike water-soluble vitamins, cannot easily be excreted. Consequently, higher than required concentrations of such vitamins can be harmful. There is growing interest in the influence of fat-soluble micronutrients in both the prevention and management of disease. This interest is driven not only by the knowledge of the many biochemical functions of these essential nutrients but also by emerging pleiotropic processes.
These considerations warrant a Special Issue on fat-soluble vitamins to highlight recent developments in basic and applied research into their role in health maintenance as well as shed more light on any controversial issues. Manuscripts presenting basic, applied, and clinical research, observational and meta-analysis studies, and analytical reviews in the fat-soluble vitamin area are encouraged for this Special Issue.
