Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lipid metabolism is important for animals and can affect the health of animals. For layers, lipid metabolism could affect their egg quality; for broiler and swine, lipid metabolism could affect the quality of meat; for pets, lipid metabolism could affect the obesity status and health. Thus, lipid metabolism and its related metabolites (e.g., bile acid, cholesterol, etc.) are all of great significance for different kinds of animals, and even could affect the gut microbiota of animals.
The Special Issue of Metabolites, entitled “Research on Lipid Metabolism in Animals”, aims to focus on the lipid metabolism for different animals (livestock, aquaculture, and pets), including the interactions between lipid metabolism and gut microbiota and lipid-related metabolic diseases, such as obesity, and related liver diseases. In addition, research on the metabolism of other nutrients in animals is also welcome.
