Animal-Originated Food Intake and Human Health

Dear Colleagues,

Diet is the main factor influencing the development of the body and maintaining its good condition. A properly balanced diet provides the body with all the compounds necessary for the proper functioning of the organism and its individual systems, such as the immune, digestive, or cardiovascular systems. The growing interest in diets targeted at narrow groups of consumers/patients or in restrictive/elimination diets makes it increasingly important to demonstrate the role of individual ingredients consumed in optimum, deficiency, or excess. This Special Issue will focus on both the positive and negative role of animal-derived diet compounds in maintaining health and preventing the development of disease at all stages of human life.

We welcome submissions including, but not limited to, the following areas:

-Human studies (epidemiological and interventional);

-Mechanistic studies aiming at elucidating the biological basis of observed phenomena in in vitro and in vivo animal models.
