Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive components are widely distributed in various plant species, where they perform several structural, metabolic, and defense functions.
These plant food elements have been shown to possess beneficial properties, including immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. The possible role that these compounds play in the prevention or treatment of several pathologies, such as cancer, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or neurodegenerative diseases, is being continuously analyzed.
The purpose of this Special Issue, entitled "The Effect of Dietary Bioactive Compounds on Inflammation-Related Diseases", is to collect and discuss the recent developments in research regarding all of the aspects of bioactive compounds that are involved in various diseases, mediated by inflammatory and oxidative processes. More specifically, original papers should focus on the implication of dietary bioactive compounds in different molecular pathways and propose modern cell and molecular biology methodologies. Furthermore, considering bioavailability as a key element to ensure the bio-efficacy of these compounds, studies on the absorption and metabolism of dietary bioactive compounds are particularly welcome. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of both original scientific research and systematic reviews.

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-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.
