Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are key contributors to the development and progression of many non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. Dietary bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids, and omega-3 fatty acids have shown strong potential in modulating inflammatory responses and reducing oxidative damage, making them promising candidates for disease prevention and health promotion.
These compounds function through diverse mechanisms, scavenging free radicals, modulating signaling pathways, regulating gene expression, and interacting with the gut microbiota, to help maintain cellular homeostasis and reduce disease risk. Growing research interest has focused on the identification, characterization, and application of these compounds in functional foods, nutraceuticals, and personalized dietary interventions.
This Special Issue aims to present original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore the mechanistic insights, efficacy, and practical applications of anti-inflammatory and antioxidative bioactive compounds in the diet. We welcome submissions based on molecular research, animal studies, human clinical trials, and population-based approaches.
The goal is to provide a platform for advancing the scientific understanding and translational potential of dietary bioactives in promoting long-term health and preventing chronic disease.

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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
