Nutrition Intervention in Liver Health and Disease
This special issue belongs to the section “Nutrition and Metabolism“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diet and nutrition are key regulators of liver function. The liver is not only a major organ for nutrient metabolism, but also senses the nutrient status of the body and responds correspondingly. Unbalanced diet, heavy alcohol consumption, and drug use are major risk factors for liver damage. Proper interventions are required to protect liver function or reverse damaged liver function.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality research concerning the influence of diet and nutrition on liver diseases and disorders. Submissions focused on liver diseases of various etiologies are welcome in the form of reports of original research (longitudinal studies, health promotion intervention studies, qualitative research, epidemiology, basic research, omics, microbiota, etc.) or reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analyses).
