Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Special Issue of Nutrients titled “Nutritional Bioactive Components and Lipid Metabolic Diseases: A Comprehensive Exploration.”
Lipid metabolism plays a central role in numerous health conditions, and its dysregulation is closely linked to various metabolic diseases. In this context, nutritional bioactive components have attracted growing interest for their possible preventive and therapeutic roles. This Special Issue aims to provide a broad yet focused platform for current research exploring the interface between nutrition, bioactive components, and lipid-related metabolic disorders.
By assembling this pioneering knowledge repository, we aim to connect the dots between lipid biochemistry, metabolic disease research, clinical applications, and nutritional insights. We are particularly interested in submissions of original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore the mechanisms from molecular, clinical, or translational perspectives. Studies elucidating the molecular pathways mediated by bioactive nutraceuticals, their contribution to disease prevention and management, and innovative therapeutics, with an eye toward nutritional interventions, are highly encouraged. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Zhen Chen
Guest Editor
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind 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.
