Metabolism and Health

Dear Colleagues,

The Topic ‘Metabolism and Health’ is open for submissions. It is well established that the dysregulation of homeostasis is a risk factor for several diseases and for cardiovascular events in particular. In recent decades, the burden of disease and death attributable to environmental pollution (air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, etc.) is becoming a public health challenge worldwide, especially in developing countries. Exposure to pollutants is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in human cells, which may lay the foundation for chronic metabolic diseases, such as dyslipidemias, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc. For this Topic, we encourage researchers to submit high-quality observational, experimental, and review studies that provide evidence about the health effects of metabolic markers on cardiovascular outcomes. Studies evaluating the impacts of pollutants exposure on chronic metabolic diseases are also welcomed. Furthermore, it is of particular interest for us to receive articles trying to develop robust designs that improve the existing literature and that are committed to either dose–response analyses or causal inference examining in-depth to what extent pollutants exposure has a causal effect on metabolic health.
