Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the connection between nutritional factors and vascular structure and function. A potential association between nutrients and endothelial (dys)function and inflammation has been intensively studied during the last several years, and there are still many unknowns. At the same time, futher insight into this area could have far-reaching implications for cardiovascular health (with cardiovascular diseases being a leading cause of death in the world), lifestyle, behavior and health practices, as well as for further research down the road. The special issue welcomes original research manuscripts investigating the effects of dietary patterns on vascular health, especially the ones assessing mechanisms on molecular, cellular, tissue and systemic levels, as well as review articles and other standard forms of scientific and clinical reporting.
