Effects of Nutritional Supplementation or Intervention on Energy Metabolism, Substrate Oxidation, Muscle Mass and Strength

Dear Colleagues,

We invite researchers to submit original research articles and comprehensive reviews for this timely Special Issue addressing the critical intersection of nutrition and metabolic health.

Scope and Significance:

Understanding how nutritional interventions influence energy metabolism, substrate utilization, and musculoskeletal health is paramount in combating metabolic diseases, sarcopenia, and athletic performance optimization. This Special Issue aims to bridge gaps between nutritional science and physiological outcomes, providing evidence-based insights into the following:

• Novel nutritional strategies affecting metabolic pathways;
• Substrate oxidation patterns under various dietary interventions;
• Mechanisms of muscle protein synthesis and preservation;
• Functional outcomes related to strength and body composition;
• Translational applications for clinical and athletic populations.

Topics of Interest:

• Macronutrient timing and composition;
• Dietary supplements and ergogenic aids;
• Protein quality and muscle anabolism;
• Metabolic flexibility and fuel partitioning;
• Nutritional interventions in aging populations.

This platform will facilitate knowledge exchange among nutritionists, physiologists, clinicians, and sports scientists, advancing evidence-based nutritional practices.

We welcome high-quality manuscripts that advance our understanding of nutrition's profound impact on human metabolism and physical performance. Please join us in contributing to this essential field.

Dr. Yosuke Yamada

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
