Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well established that proper nutrition plays an important role in maintaining metabolic health. Inappropriate dietary behaviors, excessive energy intake, and imbalances in dietary composition can lead to disturbances in homeostasis, intestinal dysbiosis, inflammation, and the development of diet-related metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the details of the associations between diet and known diet-related diseases, as well as health disorders that are not as well known, and to explain the mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders. In this context, it is crucial to identify new potential biomarkers of the consumption of various food components with particular importance for human health. Emphasis will also be placed on food-derived bioactive compounds, including peptides, polyphenols, and other secondary metabolites, which may exert antioxidant, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, or anti-inflammatory effects and play important roles in maintaining metabolic health. The scope of this Special Issue, titled "Human Nutrition and Metabolic Health," is devoted to original papers and literature reviews relevant to the associations between nutrition and metabolic health at various stages of human life (children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly), as well as nutritional strategies for the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases.
