Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitochondrial dysfunction is found in Parkinson’s disease (PD). There have been various studies on this issue in recent decades, but many issues remain unresolved. In recent years, it has become clear that early-onset PD is somewhat different from late-onset PD. This seems especially true for mitochondrial dysfunction. In this Special Issue, we are interested in exploring mitochondrial dysfunction in early-onset PD and late-onset PD.
Basic science as well as clinical contributions are invited. Genetics, biochemical/biophysics and magnetic resonance studies will be especially appreciated. Contributions may focus on the following topics: mitochondria and their function; analysis of metabolites; analysis of metabolic perturbations (effect of drugs, nutrients, environment, etc., on metabolism/metabolic pathways); methodology development for detecting metabolites or changes in metabolic pathways; and metabolic pathways, networks, diseases and errors in metabolism.

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.
