Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, all medical academic community is aware that we are fighting not only the COVID-19 pandemic, but also a pandemic comprised of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components, particularly abdominal obesity, and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The incidence of these conditions is growing at an alarming pace, creating an important burden on the health systems all over the world.
It is mandatory to find viable solutions to a better management of these metabolic disorders. Current research needs to focus on finding pathways that could be targeted to achieve better control of the progression of these metabolic pathologies.
This Special Issue, "Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus", propose to add value to the present knowledge in the field of metabolic disorders. Original research in this field is welcomed, together with well-designed narrative reviews or (preferable) systematic reviews. The topics could expand beyond the proposed keywords if they provide a liaison with the field of the MetS-T2DM. Also, we would like to emphasize that we will consider not only clinical medicine, but equally fundamental research.
We invite you to submit a manuscript for publication in this Special Issue of the journal Medicina.
