Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular conditions, represent a growing global health challenge, necessitating the development of novel pharmacological approaches and therapeutic interventions. This Special Issue invites contributions focused on the latest advancements in pharmacology and experimental therapeutics aimed at addressing these disorders. The Special Issue seeks to provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working at the intersection of drug discovery, metabolic diseases, and therapeutic innovation. 

The Special Issue will primarily focus on experimental therapies and pharmacological mechanisms that influence metabolic pathways, with an emphasis on novel drug development, preclinical studies, and clinical trials. Research exploring the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of new therapeutics for metabolic disorders is especially encouraged, alongside studies that provide insights into disease mechanisms and treatment strategies.
