Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Liver diseases encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the liver and its function and are closely associated with a number of metabolic and systemic disorders that can have a significant impact on overall health. The prevalence of liver disease is increasing worldwide.
This Special Issue, entitled "Nutrition Therapy for Liver and Associated Metabolic Diseases", aims to address the critical role of nutritional interventions in the prevention, management, and potential reversal of liver-related health conditions. Key topics to be explored include the preventive effects of nutrients and bioactive compounds in foods against the development of liver and related diseases, the impact of macronutrient and calorie intake on liver function, the role of vitamins and minerals in the management of liver disease, and the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals and probiotics. Both preclinical animal studies and clinical trials will be considered to provide a robust understanding of the role of diet in liver disease. In addition, reviews that provide a relevant scientific contribution will also be considered.
Prof. Dr. Jayong Chung
Guest Editor
