Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stress is associated with a wide range of chronic diseases, and inflammation is a key mechanism linking stress to the pathophysiological processes driving these disease states. Stress and inflammation are impacted by obesity and modifiable health behaviors, such as physical activity and nutritional intakes. However, stress and inflammation are also linked to environmental and psychosocial drivers, such as poverty, stigma, discrimination, built environments, and exposure to pollutants and pathogens. The purpose of this Special Issue is to discuss the effects of these multifaceted stimuli on stress and inflammation outcomes, methods for quantifying stress and inflammation, and the physiological effects of stress and inflammation. Both reviews and original research submissions are welcome, and all forms of original research (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, observational, experimental) will be considered for publication. In line with the scope of Metabolites, all submissions should include a substantive emphasis on at least one metabolite, biomarker, or metabolic pathway related to stress or inflammation.
