Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and has become a serious public health problem, with increasing prevalence and incidence, in line with the global rise in obesity rates and sedentary lifestyles. Numerous studies have demonstrated that MetS is associated with a state of inflammation, characterized by abnormal production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as with oxidative stress, a consequence of reduced antioxidant systems and increased production of reactive oxygen species.
Inflammation and oxidative stress are two extremely broad and comprehensive terms that have led to the emergence of numerous studies aimed at identifying a large number of regulatory mechanisms and pathways, genes, and post-transcriptional factors involved in gene expression related to inflammation and oxidative stress.
One of the main objectives of research in the field of inflammation is to identify molecules that can serve as biomarkers for the onset, progression, or response to treatment of a specific condition.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions addressing various aspects of inflammation and oxidative stress, including (but not limited to) pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnostic tools, treatment modalities, and preventive measures.
We welcome original studies, research articles, and reviews that shed light on the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress, and their role in the development of metabolic syndrome, as well as studies focusing on new dietary approaches or specific treatments.
By bringing together diverse perspectives and the latest research findings, we strive to facilitate the development of more effective strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of metabolic syndrome, addressing unmet clinical needs in this field.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
