Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on "Effects of Functional Food Components in Health and Disease" in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. This Special Issue focuses on the role of functional food components in extending healthy life expectancy and disease. Recent research has revealed the potential of specific components in food to prolong lifespans. In this Special Issue, we aim to explore the latest studies on how nutritional compounds, bioactive compounds, antioxidants, and other functional food components contribute to lifespan extension and improvements in health.
Research topics of the Special Issue include:
- The relationship between functional food components and healthy life expectancy.
- The association between functional food components and lifespan extension.
- The impact of antioxidants on Healthy Life Expectancy.
- Nutritional supplementation and healthy aging.
- Development and evaluation of functional foods.
- Physiological activities of bioactive compounds and their effects on lifespan.
- Linking food metabolism pathways to health benefits.
- Prevention of age-related diseases by food components.
- Preventive effects of functional food components on musculoskeletal disorders.
- Prevention of autoimmune diseases through functional food components.
This Special Issue is led by Dr. Shigeyuki Kon with the assistance of the Special Issue Assistant Dr. Sachi Shibata (Fukuyama University., Fukuyama, Japan). We are looking forward to receiving your high-quality submissions.
Prof. Dr. Shigeyuki Kon
Guest Editor
