Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Disorders in lipid and fatty acid metabolism are among the primary risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis and the genesis of cardiovascular diseases. These molecules may undergo changes due to genetic alterations as well as secondary causes. In this context, the intake of specific nutrients and the selection of dietary patterns play a crucial role in both the progression and treatment of lipid and lipoprotein disorders. Furthermore, diet can interact with genomic elements in the modulation of these biomarkers.
In this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of articles that evaluate the role of dietary patterns and nutrients in the modulation of fatty acids, lipids, and lipoproteins within the context of primordial, primary, and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease related to atherosclerosis. Additionally, articles describing interactions between diet and molecular elements concerning different phenotypes of hyperlipoproteinemia are welcome. We will consider original articles (pilot studies, experimental studies, and observational studies), as well as narrative, scoping, and systematic reviews (with or without meta-analyses) and clinical study protocols. Studies conducted on animal and cellular models, as well as those utilizing Mendelian randomization methods, will also be taken into account.

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.
