Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of various metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. Recent advances in research have highlighted the potential of natural active compounds, derived from plants, herbs, and other natural sources, to modulate inflammatory pathways. These compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and terpenoids, have demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory properties, which can mitigate the development and progression of metabolic diseases.
This Special Issue, titled Natural Active Compounds in Inflammation and Metabolic Diseases, aims to gather high-quality research that investigates the mechanistic roles of these natural compounds in inflammation and their therapeutic potential in the context of metabolic disorders. By exploring the interactions between natural compounds and inflammatory processes, we seek to foster a deeper understanding of their impact on metabolic health and provide insights into novel preventive and therapeutic strategies.
We welcome submissions that explore the anti-inflammatory effects of specific compounds, their molecular targets, and their clinical relevance in managing metabolic diseases.
