Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In Special Issue, we would like to discuss the impact of nutrients, environmental factors, and obesity, which can lead to the development of civilization diseases such as metabolic syndrome and cardio–renal–metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a public health problem due to its close association with metabolic comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, liver disease, cardiovascular disease and renal dysfunction. Therefore, it is very important to prepare personalized nutrition in cases of metabolic syndrome, as there is evidence that indicates that excessive or inadequate nutrient intake induces a disturbance of metabolic homeostasis through excessive secretion of various compounds, leading to alterations in metabolic pathways and systemic metabolic dysfunction. Further, nutritional interventions have become effective strategies for treating obesity and related metabolic disorders. In this Special Issue, we would like to highlight new strategies and mechanisms, as well as nutritional approaches to combat obesity and related metabolic disorders, focusing on the following topcis:
- The impact of personalized nutrition in shaping the gut microbiota and their metabolites;
- The impact of dietary patterns and interventions (including interventions to increase physical activity as part of personalized medicine);
- The assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with cardio–renal–metabolic syndrome;
- The impact of physical activity on optimizing insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.
In this way, we hope to shed light on the pathogenesis of common metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic liver disease, and cardio–renal–metabolic syndrome.
This Special Issue of the journal Nutrients, entitled “Personalized Nutrition, Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome”, aims to solicit original research papers and review articles on the current state of research in the field, including both exploratory and preclinical studies.
