Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Exercise of various intensities, including marathons, triathlons, and cycling competitions, affects the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) by eliciting gut dysmotility symptoms. However, the mechanisms are still unknown. One hypothesis is that the redistribution of blood flow causes gastrointestinal ischemia, mechanical forces, changes in gastrointestinal mucosal activity, neuroendocrine changes, and stress. It is estimated that 30–90% of distance runners presented many symptoms, such as vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux, diarrhea, stool bleeding, and more frequent bowel movements. High-intensity exercise decreases gastric emptying, while low-intensity exercise such as walking (at 28, 41, and 56% of VO2 max) and running (at 57 and 65% VO2 max) accelerate it. This Special Issue aims to bring together a collection of papers that evaluate the effects of physical exercise and nutritional approach on gastrointestinal pathophysiology in health and illness. We welcome the submission of manuscripts including, but not limited to, the following topics: exercise, nutrition on gastrointestinal motility and intestinal permeability; microbiota, nutrition, and exercise; exercise, nutrition, and gastrointestinal pathophysiology; exercise, supplemental nutrition, and gastrointestinal pathophysiology.

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.

(1) Background: We examined the effect of the acute administration of olive oil (EVOO), linseed oil (GLO), soybean oil (SO), and palm oil (PO) on gastric motility and appetite in rats. (2) Methods: We assessed food intake, gastric retention (GR), and gene expression in all groups. (3) Results: Both EVOO and GLO were found to enhance the rate of stomach retention, leading to a decrease in hunger. On the other hand, the reduction in food intake caused by SO was accompanied by delayed effects on stomach retention. PO caused an alteration in the mRNA expression of NPY, POMC, and CART. Although PO increased stomach retention after 180 min, it did not affect food intake. It was subsequently verified that the absence of an autonomic reaction did not nullify the influence of EVOO in reducing food consumption. Moreover, in the absence of parasympathetic responses, animals that received PO exhibited a significant decrease in food consumption, probably mediated by lower NPY expression. (4) Conclusions: This study discovered that different oils induce various effects on parameters related to food consumption. Specifically, EVOO reduces food consumption primarily through its impact on the gastrointestinal tract, making it a recommended adjunct for weight loss. Conversely, the intake of PO limits food consumption in the absence of an autonomic reaction, but it is not advised due to its contribution to the development of cardiometabolic disorders.
