Bioactive Lipids and Metabolic Disease

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the launch of the Special Issue of Nutrients entitled “Bioactive Lipids and Metabolic Disease”. The complex link between metabolic disorders and lipid metabolism necessitates a deeper understanding of how to regulate our bodies for optimal health through nutritional science. This Special Issue emphasizes the most recent research on bioactive lipids, their regulatory functions in metabolic pathways and potential applications in therapy, along with their intersection with nutritional science to enhance health outcomes.

By assembling this pioneering repository of knowledge, our objective is to connect the dots between lipid biochemistry, metabolic disease research, clinical applications and nutritional insights. We are particularly interested in submissions of original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore the mechanisms through which bioactive lipids influence metabolic diseases. This includes their identification, functional analysis, interactions with dietary components and consequent effects on health outcomes. Studies elucidating the molecular pathways mediated by bioactive lipids, their contribution to disease prevention and management, and the innovation of lipid-based therapeutics, with an eye toward nutritional interventions, are highly encouraged.

We look forward to your valuable contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
