Lipid Metabolism in Obesity and Diabetes, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Lipid Metabolism in Obesity and Diabetes 2023”.

Obesity is characterized by an excessive accumulation of fat, which leads to a plethora of medical complications including coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Furthermore, enhanced atherogenesis and premature atherosclerosis are associated with the above-mentioned diseases and cause early cardiovascular complications and increased mortality. Previously, both harmful and beneficial effects of organokines, such as adipokines, hepatokines and gut hormones, have been observed for obesity and diabetes, especially in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, vascular senescence and endogenous oxidative stress.

Due to the success of the first volume of this Special Issue, we welcome up-to-date reviews as well as clinical and original research articles studying lipid metabolism and/or organokine disturbances in the field of obesity; moreover, we welcome papers addressing related complications such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemias and atherosclerosis. The non-lipid effects of lipid-lowering and antidiabetic drugs in diabetes will also be covered.
