Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity is a multifactorial disorder with a high global prevalence characterized by excessive visceral fat accumulation accompanied by hormonal alterations, increased oxidant and inflammatory response, and modifications in endothelial function. These alterations stimulate other mechanisms that contribute to various pathophysiological processes in the heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys, digestive system, nervous system, etc.
The first-line strategies for managing this disease are to limit energy intake from total fat and sugars, increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and nuts, and perform rigorous, high-intensity, and frequent physical activity.
Considerable research has focused on finding foods that restore metabolic balance more efficiently. Natural foods rich in polyphenols, fiber, vitamins, minerals, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and anthocyanins can have significant effects on restoring homeostasis and particularly on restoring liver health.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers and working groups to submit original, basic, clinical, or translational research articles and/or novel specialized reviews that address molecular, genetic, and/or epigenetic aspects, including findings in in vivo models, in vitro studies, in silico studies, and clinical trials, which address the relationship between the consumption of antioxidant compounds and functional foods and the restoration of liver function.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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).
