Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-grade chronic inflammation triggers unequivocal reactions and the manifestation of various chronic diseases including renal, respiratory, cardio-, and neuro-vascular diseases, as well as muscular and osteo-articular degeneration. Since nutrients influence microbiota and components of the immune system, the essential principle of an anti-inflammatory diet is to induce the production of molecules that counteract oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory factors. Currently, multiple studies indicate that vegetables, fruits, and other natural sources rich in bioactive compounds such as vitamins, polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, and terpenoids are able to modulate inflammatory pathways through a wide range of biological functions and consequently mitigate the development and progression of chronic diseases.
This Special Issue, entitled Anti-inflammatory Diet and Chronic Disease, aims to present high-quality research that explores mechanistic processes and the effects of nutritional status, dietary patterns, and food bioactivities on systemic inflammation, immune cell populations, and lymphoid tissues, as well as their associations with the pathogenesis of infectious and chronic diseases. The in-depth study of interactions between natural compounds and inflammatory processes is fundamental in promoting integrated food advice for the effective achievement of new preventive and therapeutic strategies.
