Dietary Influence on Adipose Tissue Metabolism and Blood Lipid Levels

Dear Colleagues,

It is well known that diet may influence adipose tissue and lipoprotein metabolism, thus preventing or improving the state of many diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. Several studies have provided information on this topic, but there is growing interest into the effects of different macro- and micronutrients, food patterns, timing of feeding, type of hypocaloric diets, and state of nutrition on adipose tissue metabolism, fasting or postprandial lipids, and health status. Moreover, it has become progressively evident that human genotypes and phenotypes may influence the responses to dietary changes.

This Special Issue invites all specialists and researchers in the field of nutrition, metabolism, and endocrinology to submit original research or reviews (narrative or systematic) or meta-analyses focusing on the relation between diet and body composition, body fat distribution, white or brown adipose tissue, and lipoprotein metabolism. In particular, studies with either physiological or pathological outcomes are welcome.
