Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue, “The Multifaceted Roles of Biomarkers in Metabolic Disorders: From Diagnosis and Monitoring to Prediction, Management, and Treatment, 2nd Edition”, a continuation of a previously successful Special Issue.
The increasing prevalence of metabolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease highlights the pressing need for innovative approaches in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Identifying functional biomarkers, including metabolites, microRNAs, and proteins, is crucial, as they can serve as early indicators of pathological dysfunction and damage, even before disease onset. Additionally, investigating metabolic disturbances caused by drugs, nutrients, and environmental factors can shed light on the underlying biochemical pathways involved in these disorders and their complications. By developing novel analytical methods for biomarker analysis, we can gain valuable insights into tissue-specific metabolic disruptions, which could completely change our understanding of the pathophysiology of metabolic disorders. Furthermore, studying biomarkers that predict treatment responses and integrating multi-biomarker data offer avenues for implementing personalized medicine strategies, ultimately leading to improved clinical outcomes. This comprehensive approach holds the potential to transform diagnostics, patient risk assessment, and therapeutic interventions for metabolic disorders. For this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles as well as in-depth reviews covering these topics.

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.
