Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hormonal health is influenced by multiple determinants, including nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental exposures, and dietary patterns and the availability of macro- and micronutrients play a critical role in supporting endocrine homeostasis and metabolic regulation, with implications for growth, reproduction, and the prevention of chronic diseases. Conversely, endocrine disorders can alter nutrient requirements and utilization, highlighting the bidirectional interactions between nutritional status and hormonal function. In the context of nutrition and health, increasing attention has been directed toward environmental exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as pesticides, heavy metals, and industrial compounds, which can interfere with hormone synthesis, signaling, and metabolism. These multifactorial influences emphasize the need for an integrated perspective on endocrine health that considers both nutritional and environmental determinants. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform to explore nutritional perspectives in hormonal health and endocrine disorders, while also considering the role of environmental factors.
Submissions may include experimental studies, epidemiological and clinical investigations, as well as systematic or narrative reviews, with the objective of advancing knowledge and promoting strategies for the prevention and management of endocrine-related diseases within a public health framework.
