Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medicinal and food homologous plants are important sources of natural products with biological diversity. The interaction of these natural products with the human body can help to recover or maintain health and enhance the body's ability to resist health risks. Effective utilization and accurate evaluation of medicine and food homologous plant resources are key to making use of them as health promotion factors.
The aim of this Special Issue is to attract original research articles and review articles focusing on how medicine and food homologous plants react with human health (antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetes, antiobesity, immunomodulatory). We encourage animal and clinical studies. We also welcome reviews discussing research advances in the health beneficial effect of medicine and food homologous plants.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
1. Medicine and food homologous plant substances in the regulation of anti-inflammatory pathways
2. Regulation of immunological systems of substances from medicine and food homologous plants
3. Antioxidant effect of substances from medicine and food homologous plants
4. Anticancer effect of substances from medicine and food homologous plants
5. Antidiabetic effect of substances from medicine and food homologous plants
6. Antiobesity effect of substances from medicine and food homologous plants
7. Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases with substances from medicine and food homologous plants
