Metabolic syndrome pathophysiology is multifactorial and involves abdominal obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia. The activation of lipoprotein lipase and the inhibition of secretion of very low-density lipoproteins are central factors. Atherogenic dyslipidemia is causally linked to cardiovascular disease. At the same time, there is new evidence regarding genetic predisposition in metabolic syndrome causation. From early studies on twins to genome-wide association studies, the genetic origin of metabolic syndrome was found to span different genetic loci. Thus, environmental factors play a key role. Knowledge of increased genetic susceptibility to the syndrome permits a personalized approach to treatment and prevention. In this context, oxidative stress augments and Nrf-2 pathways are involved, the activation of which are equally favorable targets for oxidative stress suppression after treatment with natural product derivatives and phytotherapy. This attempt can also reduce the costs and side effects.

In the current webinar, firstly, lipid metabolism dysfunction in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome will be discussed. Genes and metabolic syndrome heritability will be analyzed, focusing on specific genes along with interaction with environmental factors. Last but not least, specific benefits from natural products’ utilization in the treatment of metabolic syndrome will be presented along with molecular pathways modification and cell signal regulation from phytotherapy.

Date: 26 April 2023 at 10:00 a.m. CEST

As a leading open access publisher, MDPI provides scholars with a high-quality and rich academic exchange platform by continuously expanding into new and exciting research areas.

In December 2022, MDPI launched five new journals, covering multiple subjects such as life sciences, biology, medicine and pharmacology, social sciences and humanities. These new journals are being edited by established scholars across the world.

If you are interested in creating more open access journals with us to publish cutting-edge research, please send your journal proposal application to newjournal-committee@mdpi.com.

MDPI is pleased to announce that we now display the co-authors’ email addresses in addition to the corresponding author’s email address on the webpage of published papers, protected by Captcha. For more information about this change, please visit the journal’s instructions for authors page. 

We believe this change will facilitate academic discussions and advance our cause of open science and research. The corresponding authors are responsible for communicating with their co-authors and indicating in our system (https://susy.mdpi.com/) if co-authors would prefer for their email addresses not to be displayed.
