Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In mammals, reproductive functions are known to be tightly regulated by energy availability. Atypical weight loss or gain (obesity) negatively affects the reproductive axis. The balance between energy homeostasis and reproduction is monitored by a complex system involving the brain and a variety of peripheral tissues. This process occurs via numerous factors, including metabolic hormones and nutrients.
The aim of this Special Issue is to review emerging aspects of the role of adipokines, endocrine factors secreted primarily by white adipose tissue, in the regulation of fertility and reproduction in health, obesity and reproductive disorders.

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.
