Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While the differences in gut microbiota composition and functionality observed in obesity and metabolic syndrome are well documented, the actual impact of these differences on the development and progression of these conditions remains less understood. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of how the gut microbiota and nutrient metabolism act on the host’s physiology and how they can be leveraged against obesity and metabolic syndrome. Key topics will include the bidirectional interactions between the host’s gut and metabolic systems, the role of microbiota- and diet-derived xeno-metabolites, and evaluations of novel gut-centered therapeutic strategies and dietary interventions. This Special Issue will also emphasize clinical implications, predictive modeling, and personalized medicine approaches, with the aim of optimizing metabolic outcomes based on individual gut microbiota profiles. By gathering cutting-edge research works, we can advance our understanding of the field of gut microbiota–nutrient metabolism interplay and its significant implications in metabolic health.

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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
