Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore how exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) influences metabolic dysregulation in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and how nutritional strategies or bioactive compounds may counteract these effects. This Special Issue welcomes original research and reviews that integrate metabolomics, environmental exposure assessments, genetic susceptibility, and dietary interventions.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Metabolomic profiling of EDC-exposed individuals with PCOS;
- Molecular pathways disrupted by EDCs in metabolic and reproductive tissues;
- Nutrients or bioactives with protective or modulatory effects;
- Gene-environment-diet interactions in PCOS pathophysiology;
- In vitro, in vivo, or clinical intervention studies.

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.
