Lipid Metabolism in Obesity

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to further understand the role and molecular mechanism of lipid metabolism in obesity and related diseases, as well as its health impact. Lipid metabolism plays an essential role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Dyslipidemia leads to adiposity and causes a series of metabolic diseases, such as fatty liver, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation, and other related diseases. Lipid metabolism can be regulated by many molecular-level factors. The following research areas are within the scope for the Special Issue: molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of lipid metabolism and obesity-related disease; lipid metabolism and fatty liver, NASH, and liver cancer; lipid metabolism and obesity-related reproductive system diseases; lipid droplets function in tissue (such as adipose tissue, liver, and kidney); lipid droplets and other organelles contact; nutritional supplements in the management of obesity and dyslipidemia; the role of different types of lipids in obesity-related diseases; the role of gut microbiota-induced lipids in the management of obesity-related diseases; and food intake, lipid metabolism, the gut–brain axis, and the control of energy homeostasis. We welcome the submission of different article types to this collection, such as research articles (especially original), reviews, and mini reviews.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
