Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues，
The prevalence of overweight (body mass index3 25) and obesity (body mass index3 30) has reached epidemic proportions in most of the developed world. Obesity increases the risk for several co-morbidities, including type 2 diabetes (T2DM), stroke, cardiovascular disease (CVD), liver diseases, kidney diseases, and metabolic syndrome. The risks associated with obesity include various cancers such as prostate, breast, liver, kidney, colon, ovarian, and endometrial cancer.
Obesity contributes to increasing premature death worldwide. We invite authors to submit original research articles and reviews summarizing clinical, preclinical, or experimental results that analyze the role of prevention and therapy in the onset of obesity and its comorbidities. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that have relevance for T2DM, CVD, stroke, liver diseases, kidney diseases, metabolic syndrome, and cancers. Moreover, papers dealing with several factors linking the pathogenesis of obesity and related diseases are particularly welcome.
Dr. Carmine Finelli
Guest Editor
