Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic disorders—including diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases—remain critical global health burdens; thus, the investigation of natural antioxidant compounds offers a promising perspective. These compounds, which are derived from food and vegetables sources, have demonstrated a range of biological effects, positioning themselves as potential therapeutic and preventive agents.
The first edition of this Special Issue, entitled “Natural Antioxidants and Metabolic Diseases” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antioxidants/special_issues/IG4O18I42Y), was a success, with 10 papers, both articles and reviews, published. Since then, this research field has experienced several advancements; thus, we cordially invite you to submit your valuable articles to the second edition of this Special Issue, underscoring these very relevant findings and progress. We seek to address key gaps in the literature, including the following topics:
- Molecular mechanisms underlying antioxidant-mediated metabolic modulation;
- Bioavailability and formulation challenges for clinical applications;
- Preclinical and clinical evidence supporting efficacy and safety;
- Synergistic effects of antioxidant combinations in complex metabolic networks.
We invite researchers in the fields of food chemistry, nutrition, biochemistry, pharmacology, and the medical sciences to submit original research articles, clinical reports, and review articles. Your participation and contributions are crucial to enriching the body of knowledge and gaining new insights into this field. With this Special Issue, we aim to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the advancements and potential of these compounds to support health and the management of metabolic diseases.
