Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physiological events in gestation, parturition, and lactation, together with the changes in environment and feeding practice, commonly place animals into negative energy balance and metabolic stress in the periparturient period, causing suboptimal health status and a series of diseases. Due to the imbalance between excessive fat mobilization and insufficient ability to remove fat, the occurrence of fatty liver is a prominent metabolic disorder in many periparturient animals, seriously affecting the normal functions of liver and other organs. Therefore, clarifying the mechanisms of fat synthesis, transport, metabolism and other related processes in periparturient animals is of great significance for improving animal health and production performance.
This Special Issue of Metabolites,“Molecular Mechanism of Lipid Metabolism in Periparturient Animal Liver”, will be dedicated to collecting original research articles and reviews on recent basic and applied research focused on the regulation and molecular mechanisms of lipid metabolism in periparturient animal liver.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
