Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that the dietary approach is a key milestone in the treatment of metabolic syndrome, especially in the prevention of cardiovascular consequences and evolution to type 2 diabetes. However, other effects of metabolic dysregulations are less investigated under the profile of the role of diet. Some examples of these include bone metabolism, reproductive questions both in male and females, cognitive impairment, and oncological risk; the entire lifespan, from early childhood to old age, is therefore involved. Growth hormone secretion is profoundly affected by diet; moreover, its metabolic functions are fundamental also in adult age, as suggested by the development of metabolic syndrome in adult growth hormone deficiency. Moreover, the aspect of nutraceutics and antioxidant supplements, which is more extensively studied, has still no scientific and univocal evidence. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to provide new insights into the abovementioned topics.
All original papers and reviews will be considered for this Special Issue, which could be of interest for endocrinologists, dieticians, general practitioners, gynecologists and andrologists, and pediatricians.
Due to your extensive and eminent competence the field, it would be an honour to receive a contribution from you for the present project.
