Nutrients, Food Bioactives, and Functional Foods in Gastrointestinal and Metabolic Disorders
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Topic focusing on "Nutrients, Food Bioactives, and Functional Foods in Gastrointestinal and Metabolic Disorders". This MDPI Topic aims to gather the latest research and developments in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge and identifying future directions. The Topic focuses on the critical roles of nutrients, food bioactives, and functional foods in the prevention and management of digestive diseases and metabolic disorders, whose growing prevalence underscores the need for the analysis and identification of novel bioactive food-derived compounds and innovative dietary strategies to target the pathophysiology of these alterations. This Topic aims to gather cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that explore the mechanisms through which specific nutrients and bioactive compounds potentially influence gut health, metabolic pathways, molecular and cellular mediators, and, ultimately, overall disease outcomes. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the health impact of dietary components on inflammation, gut microbiota, metabolic regulation, glycemic and lipid disorders, along with the design, development, and application of functional foods. Through this collection, we seek to advance our understanding of the preventive potential and health benefits of food-based approaches in managing digestive and metabolic disorders.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
