Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes mellitus is a major global health challenge, frequently accompanied by chronic complications driven by oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation, and metabolic dysregulation. Growing evidence suggests that dietary polyphenols may play a relevant role in the prevention and management of diabetic complications through their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic regulatory properties. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality original research and comprehensive reviews exploring the impact of polyphenol-rich foods, extracts, and isolated compounds on diabetes-related complications, including cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, and metabolic-associated comorbidities. Contributions addressing molecular mechanisms, gut microbiota modulation, redox balance, inflammatory signaling pathways, and clinical outcomes are particularly encouraged. Both preclinical and clinical studies are welcome as well as investigations focusing on bioavailability, dose–response relationships, and interindividual variability. By integrating mechanistic insights with translational and clinical evidence, this Special Issue seeks to advance the understanding of how dietary polyphenols can contribute to mitigating diabetic complications and to support their potential incorporation into nutritional strategies for diabetes management.
