Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the preceding years, society has assisted in the increase in the rate of chronic metabolic diseases, some of which may derive from alterations of the intracellular redox system and the triggering of cellular and systemic inflammatory responses. Among the components of lifestyle and personal habits, diet plays a central role in human health and in both the development and prevention of numerous pathologies. It is accepted that the adherence to balanced and healthy dietary patterns may assist in maintaining a healthy status and preventing the development of diseases. In the framework of a healthy diet, not only traditional foodstuffs, but also novel and functional foods such as symbiotic foods or edible insects, may provide additional health benefits. In fact, they may play a role in modulating important physiological processes, such as the oxidative, inflammatory and other immune responses to meal consumption at the gut level, as well as the pathological processes linked to the development of chronic conditions.
The goal of this Special Issue is to gather updated information regarding the role of functional and novel foods on the modulation of the oxidative stress and inflammatory response, including recent knowledge from clinical studies and basic research. To that end, both original papers and review articles are welcome. Possible topics, include but are not limited to:
- Modulation of oxidative stress and/or inflammation by foods, ingredients or single compounds by means of human dietary intervention trials;
- In vitro studies using cellular models to evaluate the potential role of functional or novel foods;
- Animal in vivo studies assessing the ability of novel and functional foods in modulating the oxidative and/or inflammatory response.
