Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolic diseases are a significant public health problem worldwide. Metabolic diseases include metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), leading to the development of cardiovascular disease. In recent years, technology for separating and purifying food components and analyzing biological various samples has improved dramatically, and numerous studies have discovered food factors and bioactive compounds that contribute to preventing and alleviating metabolic diseases. The accumulation of the above basic research knowledge is essential, and we believe that it will lead to the maintenance and promotion of human health.

Therefore, in this Special Issue of Metabolites, we invite research articles on the “Impact of Food and Bioactive Compounds on Metabolic Diseases” including in vitro studies using cultured cell lines, in vivo studies using animal models, and dietary intervention studies.
