Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity is a leading global health issue that contributes to the development of metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). These metabolic disorders share the underlying conditions and mechanisms that contribute to their development and progression, including insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, and dyslipidemia. For this Special Issue, we invite papers that focus on specific metabolic disorders associated with obesity, particularly Type-2 diabetes and insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, NAFLD, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. We encourage research that explores nutritional interventions that target these disorders, with an emphasis on personalized, sustainable dietary strategies. Diets rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains play a vital role in managing obesity-related metabolic risk factors. Studies on the Mediterranean diet (and other healthful dietary patterns), functional foods, and nutraceuticals are welcomed, as these approaches show promise in mitigating obesity-related metabolic risks. We seek contributions that investigate the biological mechanisms connecting obesity with these metabolic disorders, as well as how dietary modifications can influence key metabolic pathways and improve associated health outcomes.
