Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diet plays a pivotal role in the phato-physiological processes related to many chronic diseases, particularly those related to environmental factors (i.e., lifestyle). Therefore, tailored nutritional interventions should be considered as Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for primary and secondary prevention, as well as the management of many clinical conditions.
Ketogenic diets (KDs) and the Mediterranean diet (MD) were appointed as strategies for MNT, given the solid evidence supporting their use in several clinical settings, ranging from cardiometabolic diseases to dermatology/neurology.
This Special Issue aims to collect the most novel insights on the role of KDs and the MD in disease prevention and/or management. Original research articles (mainly from clinical trials) or scientific literature reviews (including narrative/scoping reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses) are welcome. Conttibutions describing novel mechanisms of action/targets will be profoundly appreciated
