Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nuts are highly nutritious and widely consumed foods that offer various health benefits, especially regarding cardiovascular health, weight management, diabetes, metabolic imbalance, and chronic disease prevention. Regular consumption of nuts has been associated with reduced risks of developing cardiovascular diseases and has been linked to a decreased risk of atherosclerosis. Nuts have shown promise in improving the metabolic profile of individuals, reducing the lipid profile and inflammation, improving endothelial function, and lowering blood pressure.
This Special Issue provides an excellent opportunity for researchers to contribute significantly to the intersection between nutritional science and cardiovascular care. We invite submissions of original research, reviews, meta-analyses, and perspective articles that address these or related topics. Submissions should aim to fill gaps in the existing literature, challenge established paradigms, or explore the biological mechanisms by which nut constituents (such as unsaturated fats, L-arginine, and plant sterols) influence endothelial function, plaque stability, and cardiac biomarkers. This field of investigation is large, and researchers from interdisciplinary fields are particularly encouraged to contribute, given the broad implications of nut consumption on health.
