Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Insulin resistance (IR) is a critical social problem around the world, and it is usually accompanied by increased plasma insulin levels in humans and/or animals. Because IR is known to be linked with metabolic disorders and the progression of diabetes, many scientists have contributed to the research of IR. The fruitful results have been beneficial to health and basic research. However, numerous points remained unclear, particularly the metabolic mechanisms. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present a collection of articles focused on metabolic mechanisms and consequences, both in vivo and in vitro of IR. Additionally, details have recently emerged of important molecules and/or signaling events in the related processes. In recent, hepatokines are a popular topic in publications. It is important to assess the significance of these molecules in the mechanisms of IR. You are most welcome to share the findings relevant to IR that were obtained in your lab using reliable animal models and/or the established cell models. Moreover, considering the health merits of modern therapies, this Special Issue will cover a wide variety of areas including repurposing of old drugs, with the aim of developing useful agents and/or biomolecules for IR therapy from various aspects. Various forms of manuscripts are welcomed for submission to this Special Issue, including reviews, mini-reviews, commentaries, and original research articles, among others, and we look forward to receiving contributions from all over the world.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
