Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Insulin resistance is one of the risk factors associated with obesity that is relevant to the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS). In fact, MetS is the group of determining risk factors leading to heart disease and stroke, being the leading cause of death in the world. It is known that lipid metabolism plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance. Thus, the type of diet, and therefore the components of the food (nutrients and non-nutrients), has a determining role in the regulation of metabolism, as well as in the development of insulin resistance. Numerous studies show that food components have biological effects at different levels, ranging from microbiota changes and regulating insulin resistance through the intestinal-brain axis to gene expression regulation.
In this Topic, we invite researchers to submit novelty papers on the effects of nutritional compounds related to lipid metabolism and insulin resistance. We welcome original research articles, animal and clinical studies, as well as review articles.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
