Pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity and Thyroid Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Globally, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and thyroid disorders are three of the most prevalent endocrinological and metabolic clinical problems, reaching epidemic proportions.

Regardless of whether they occur separately or coexist and comprise an unfavorable set of clinical disorders, they pose a threat to progress in human population health and life expectancy, which have been progressing for the last century.

This Special Issue aims to publish significant findings in the field of clinical studies on type 2 diabetes, obesity, and thyroid disorders.

The complexity of the processes underlying these disorders, further aggravated by the complicated correlation between them, is why we would not like to narrow our scope and aims.

These clinical problems cover a broad range of research fields, from genetic and molecular research through to clinical research and clinical care, as well as some of the most crucial public health issues. We also invite researchers to publish reviews based on their own professional experience and published literature. We especially encourage submissions of papers presenting new findings that substantially widen the current knowledge and can be directly introduced into clinical practice.

Thus, this Special Issue will readily welcome every outstanding contribution in the field of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and thyroid disorders.

Best regards,

Dr. Zbigniew Adamczewski
Dr. Magdalena Stasiak
