Functional Food and Anti-Inflammatory Function

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Functional foods are foods that offer health benefits beyond mere nutritional value. They contain bioactive components, such as vitamins, minerals, probiotics, fibre, and antioxidants, which can contribute to improving general well-being and preventing disease. In addition, foods rich in anti-oxidants, such as fruit and vegetables, help fight oxidative stress, protecting cells from damage and slowing down the ageing process. Finally, research suggests that regular inclusion of functional foods in the diet may contribute to weight management and blood glucose control, benefiting people with diabetes or metabolic problems. Promoting the use of functional foods may therefore be an effective strategy to improve public health and prevent various chronic diseases limiting inflammatory process. With an emphasis on the identification, development, and establishment of functional foods with anti-inflammatory properties through the study of the biological mechanisms that food bioactive components can express, this Topic, "Functional Food and Anti-Inflammatory Function", aims to improve the health of patients. A wide range of publications are encouraged for the reasons mentioned above, including in vitro and in vivo investigations, which are necessary to gather fresh data for upcoming clinical trials. Clinical studies will receive special consideration since they provide compelling scientific evidence for the effectiveness of novel functional foods. Ultimately, thorough assessments that can condense significant subjects are helpful in launching new scientific investigations.

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:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
