Relevance between Lipid Metabolism, Nutrition and Chronic Disease

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will address new basic and clinical research data of obesity- and dyslipidemia-related pathologic sequelae as well as nutritional strategies. Obesity and dyslipidemia are responsible for the increasing burden of chronic diseases in the industrialized world. Sessile lifestyle, ingestion of highly processed food, and individual genetic risk constellations contribute to cardiovascular, hepatic, cerebrovascular, and oncologic diseases, all of which are detrimental for a healthy life. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms is important. The COVID-19 pandemic has indeed shown that metabolic and immunologic dysfunction associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus essentially contributes to fatal courses of COVID-19. This Issue cordially invites all researchers working with such pathologic sequelae of obesity and the relevance between nutrition intaking to submit reviews and original research manuscripts to this topic.
