Regulation and Effect of Sulfur-Containing Amino Acids and Sulfur Compounds on Metabolism 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

In the first volume of this special issue on “Regulation and Effect of Taurine on Metabolism”, the newest insights of taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) in various fields of nutrition, sport and exercise science, neuroscience, basic medicine, marine science were presented. Taurine is the end product in the metabolic pathway of sulfur-containing amino acids; methionine and cysteine that play essential and important roles on maintenance of cellular system. The sulfur-containing amino acids as well as its derivatives and metabolites have the physiological and pharmacological functions on healthy conditions, preventing various diseases, and supporting growth and aging. The second volume of this special issue welcome researchers to submit original research, review articles, and basic and clinical data in wide fields focusing on not only taurine and its metabolites (hypotaurine, thiotaurine, N-acetyltaurine, N-methyltaurine, tauropine, taurine-conjugated bile acids) but also the common sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine), its derivatives and metabolites (S-adenosylmethionine, homocysteine, N-acetylcysteine, S-allylcysteine, S-propylcysteine, S-adenosylhomocysteine), as well as sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide.

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 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-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.
