Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an increasing global health issue, highly associated with the epidemic of obesity. In healthy individuals, glucose homeostasis is tightly regulated by insulin and its counterregulatory hormones. Individuals with T2DM show insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion, leading to hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. In addition to genetic factors, overnutrition is a major factor that results in the dysregulation of glucose homeostasis, contributing to the development of T2DM. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effect of nutritional regulation on glucose homeostasis and the underlying molecular mechanisms, thereby providing strategies for the prevention and treatment of T2DM. This Special Issue focuses on the impacts of nutrients on the control of glucose homeostasis and understanding their underlying mechanisms through hormone regulation, epigenetic modifications, gene transcriptional regulation, and chronic inflammation.

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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
