Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of interrelated metabolic abnormalities including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and abdominal obesity, has emerged as a global health challenge, significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions. As the prevalence of this syndrome continues to rise, due to modern lifestyles, sedentary behaviors, and unhealthy dietary patterns, there is an urgent need for effective strategies to prevent and manage it. In recent years, the potential of dietary polyphenols to modulate metabolic processes and improve health outcomes has garnered increasing attention. These dietary polyphenols, found in various foods and beverages, possess diverse biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering effects, which may contribute to the prevention and amelioration of metabolic syndrome. This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research exploring the effects of dietary polyphenols on metabolic syndrome. We invite original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that delve into the mechanisms of action, efficacy, and potential applications of these ingredients in the context of metabolic syndrome. By highlighting novel findings and innovative approaches, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding and foster further research in this promising area, ultimately providing valuable insights for the development of dietary interventions and functional foods to combat metabolic syndrome and improve public health.
