Redox Homeostasis and Metabolic Profile in Exercise Training

Dear Colleagues,

Physical training induces metabolic changes in the organism, leading to the activation of adaptive mechanisms aimed at establishing a new dynamic equilibrium. However, exercise can have both positive and negative effects on inflammatory and redox statuses, and the adaptive mechanisms are the result of fine balance between oxidative stress/inflammation induced by exercise that increases performance and health and oxidative stress due to excessive effort that causes fatigue and muscle damage, leading to pathology. For this reason, it is important to identify molecules to monitor the level of training to avoid overtraining or to improve performance. The aim of this Special Issue will be to understand skeletal muscle metabolism during adaptation, to determine the metabolic profile and redox homeostasis in healthy athletes  exposed to continuous training sessions over time. Moreover, it will be important to evaluate the relations among peripheral signals to identify a) how plasma signals can modify the metabolism of cultured muscle cells and b) how the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle can promote crosstalk between organs.

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.
