Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a critical social problem around the world and is usually accompanied by metabolic dysfunction in humans and/or animals. Because MetS is known to be linked with metabolic disorders and the progression of diabetes, many scientists have contributed to the research on metabolic homeostasis. These fruitful results have been beneficial to health and basic research. However, numerous points remain unclear, particularly the impact of nutrients on metabolic homeostasis. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present a collection of articles focused on the impact of nutrients on metabolic homeostasis, including the mechanisms and consequences, both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, details of changes induced by nutrients have recently emerged for important molecules and/or signaling events in the related processes. Recently, hepatokines have been a popular topic in publications. Thus, it is important to assess the significance of these molecules in metabolic homeostasis by nutrients. You are most welcome to share findings relevant to metabolic homeostasis by nutrients that were obtained in your lab using reliable animal models and/or established cell models.
Moreover, considering the health merits of modern therapies, this Special Issue will cover a wide variety of areas, including the repurposing of well-known nutrients, with the aim of developing useful nutrients for metabolic homeostasis from different aspects. Various forms of manuscripts are welcomed for submission to this Special Issue, including reviews and original research articles, among others. 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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
