Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic disorders are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, and their prevalence is still growing all over the world, causing significant impacts on human health and economic burden. At the same time, increased attention has been given to natural products from plants, marine organisms, and various microorganisms for their beneficial effects on combating chronic metabolic diseases and associated complications. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research articles and critical reviews that address recent advances and provide novel findings on the molecular pharmacology of natural products on metabolic diseases and the complications. The focus of this issue is investigations on the molecular mechanism of bioactive compounds in treating metabolic disorders, but studies on biological, chemical, cellular, molecular properties, and so on are welcome.
Contributions need not be limited to the fields mentioned in the keywords. We look forward to your contribution.
Dr. Anna Wai San Cheang
Guest Editor
