Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among the molecules that have aroused great interest in the scientific community, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are of particular importance in terms of both nutrition and health. It has been clearly established that PUFAs, of natural or industrial origin, constitute aggravating or protective factors in various diseases (cardiovascular, cancer, inflammatory, etc.) and age-related processes. In this evolving scientific context, knowledge regarding the link between PUFAs and health is rapidly advancing. This Special Issue aims to cover areas related to the biosynthesis and distribution of PUFAs, their bioavailability and their health benefits, both in the field of nutritional prevention and in the therapeutic field. Specifically, this Special Issue will highlight newly discovered biological mechanisms of PUFAs and their derivatives in various pathologies, along with their potential applications. We invite authors to contribute original articles, as well as review articles, that provide the readers of Nutrients with novel and updated perspectives on PUFAs and their derivatives. We hope that this Special Issue will inspire new interest in the fields of preventive nutrition and therapeutic strategies for health.
