Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) are a vast spectrum of different diseases that affect up to 30% of the adult population. It is related to several co-morbidities, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Moreover, it ranges from simple steatosis, considered a benign disease, to other diseases, such as steatohepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma.
Due to the lack of effective pharmacologic agents, the scientific community is looking for new treatments. The use of natural products has emerged as an alternative therapeutic for the treatment of hepatic diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, insulin-sensitizing, antiobesity, hypolipidemic, and hepatoprotective properties.
We are pleased to invite you to participate in this Special Issue, "The Role of Natural Products in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease", by presenting your most recent research or ideas focused on the molecular-level studies between NAFLD and natural products. Experimental papers and up-to-date review articles are all welcome.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
