Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The oxidative metabolism of fatty acids plays a crucial role in the regulation of pathophysiological processes, both as enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation.
Pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory pro-resolving lipid mediators, biomarkers of oxidative lipid damage and the supplementation of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, are of great interest for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting different systems.
Therefore, targeted monitoring of fatty acid oxidation is an important issue in molecular diagnosis and assessment of disease progression and clinical severity.
The Special Issue is open to topics on signaling pathways, biomarkers and modulation of fatty acid oxidation in disease. The submission of high-quality papers on human disease and animal model studies is encouraged. Both original research articles and reviews on these topics are welcome. It is worth noting that the International Journal of Molecular Sciences encourages the inclusion of results at the molecular level.

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 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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
