Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary polyphenols are widely recognized as key bioactive compounds that contribute to the prevention and modulation of chronic diseases, particularly those linked to inflammation and cardiometabolic dysfunction. These compounds, abundant in plant-based foods such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and beverages, exert pleiotropic biological effects through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic regulatory mechanisms.
Emerging evidence indicates that their health impact depends not only on chemical composition and intake levels, but also on bioaccessibility, bioavailability, and interactions with cellular and molecular targets involved in redox balance, inflammation, and metabolic homeostasis. In this context, in vitro and ex vivo models, together with clinical and nutritional studies, provide complementary approaches to elucidate the mechanisms underlying polyphenol-mediated health effects.
This Special Issue invites original research articles and reviews exploring the role of dietary polyphenols in modulating inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress, and cardiometabolic health. Topics may include polyphenol-rich foods, sustainable agronomic practices, food processing, and functional food development, as well as studies addressing cellular responses, molecular mechanisms, and translational implications for human health. Both experimental and clinical studies are encouraged to offer an integrated and multidisciplinary perspective.
We look forward to your contributions to advance knowledge in this exciting field.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Biomolecules.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
