Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Review Paper Special Issue: Nutritional Metabolism and Toxic Diseases in Veterinary Medicine" focuses on the intricate and multidimensional relationship between nutritional metabolism, toxicology, and the pathogenesis of various systemic diseases in animals. Nutritional imbalances, whether arising from nutrient deficiencies or over-supplementation, and exposure to dietary or environmental toxins both can disrupt homeostatic metabolic pathways, leading to profound physiological and pathological consequences. These include but are not limited to hepatic and renal dysfunction, cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, reproductive failures, neurological syndromes, and endocrine abnormalities.
This Special Issue aims to consolidate current knowledge on nutrient metabolism and veterinary toxicology, exploring how impaired metabolic functions contribute to disease onset and progression across companion animals, livestock, and wildlife. The course places particular emphasis on molecular and cellular mechanisms, diagnostic biomarkers, and therapeutic and preventive strategies aimed at mitigating disease risk and improving clinical outcomes. Please note that only review-type articles will be considered. Submissions should provide a critical synthesis of current research, identify gaps in knowledge, and discuss clinical and translational implications for veterinary practice.
