Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes are the most common diseases in the present scenario, and these are associated with various cancers. Lifestyle changes, viz. Western diet intake, smoking, alcohol, and environmental factors, are key players. Further, altering the gut microflora, termed “dysbiosis”, leads to inflammation and disease progression which alters intestinal homeostasis. Gut microbiota plays a prominent role in ameliorating obesity and its associated disorders, including cancers. Therefore, treatment of metabolic syndromes via herbal supplements, diet, functional foods, milk products, and pre- and probiotics would be beneficial. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to contribute research and review articles to this Special Issue, including but not limited to the following:
- Obesity management via fiber, pre-, and probiotics and functional foods;
- Targeting the gut microbiota in obesity-associated metabolic diseases and cancers;
- Current challenges associated with obesity and its associated disorders;
- Therapeutic approaches to target obesity-associated cancer;
- Gut–brain axis to modulate metabolic diseases;
- Animal and clinical studies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ramesh Pothuraju
Guest Editor
