Dietary Antioxidants and Metabolic Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and the related risk of morbidity and mortality are on the rise globally. Oxidative stress and inflammation are major players in the pathogenesis of metabolic disease. Many studies have shown that the consumption of dietary antioxidants can have beneficial effects on metabolic disease.  Nonetheless, the true impact of dietary antioxidants is still far from being completely elucidated.

This Special Issue of Metabolites, entitled "Dietary Antioxidants and Metabolic Diseases", focuses on recent research trends and topics including (but not limited to) studies on the analyses of the relationship between antioxidant intake and metabolic disorders, the effects of dietary antioxidants on metabolic disease in experimental and clinical studies, and the underlying mechanism of antioxidants or individual compounds. The submission of original research articles and review papers related to the topics mentioned above is welcome.
