Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Effects of Micronutrients on Human Metabolism", aims to provide a comprehensive and cutting-edge exploration of the intricate relationship between micronutrients and human metabolic processes. Micronutrients, essential yet often overlooked components of our diet, play pivotal roles in regulating a wide array of metabolic pathways that underpin human health and disease. This Special Issue seeks to bring together leading researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, including nutrition, biochemistry, metabolism, and clinical medicine, to share their latest findings and insights.
The focus of this Special Issue will be on elucidating the mechanisms by which micronutrients influence metabolic homeostasis, as well as examining the potential therapeutic implications of these findings. Contributions are invited that address topics such as the roles of vitamins and minerals in energy metabolism, antioxidant defense, and cellular signaling; the impact of micronutrient deficiencies and excesses on metabolic disorders, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease; and the use of micronutrient interventions to modify metabolic risk factors and improve health outcomes.
We encourage authors to submit original research articles, review articles, case studies, and short communications that offer novel perspectives, innovative methodologies, and robust data on the effects of micronutrients on human metabolism. Contributions should be well structured, clearly written, and rigorously peer reviewed to ensure their highest quality and impact.
This Special Issue presents a unique opportunity for the global scientific community to advance our understanding of the critical role of micronutrients in human metabolism and to identify new avenues for research and clinical practice. We look forward to receiving your contributions and to publishing a collection of groundbreaking work that will shape the future of nutrition and 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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
