Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolites are the intermediates or end product of cellular metabolism including exogenous small molecules or endogenous metabolites such as amino acids, sugars, ketones, nucleotides, fatty acids, organic acids, and microbial metabolites. Metabolic researches are an emerging field aimed toward the identification of large proportion of metabolites present in biological sample and their potential role in animal nutrition and disease pathophysiology. This identification could be employed in nutrition science, toxicology, biomedical science, and system biology. In the biomedical sphere, metabolite identification is being used to identify new disease biomarkers as well as provide novel insights into disease pathogenesis. The identification of endogenous and exogenous metabolites facilitates a better understanding of the complex changes that occur in metabolic and biochemical pathways. These changes in metabolite levels can not only aid disease diagnosis, but can also monitor cellular responses to nutrition, drugs, toxins, and environmental factors. Metabolites can be used also as biomarkers for metabolic diseases, precise nutrition requirements, and to analyze nutritional metabolic processes. This Special Issue of Metabolites, “Metabolic Research in Animal Pathophysiology and Nutrition”, is dedicated to dealing with the evaluation for the complex change in levels of endogenous and exogenous metabolites to help diagnosis, pathogenesis, and prevention of animal diseases. Additionally, the cellular metabolic response to different nutrients and feed additives as well as the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, organic acids, alkaloids, and drugs, and the crosstalk between gastrointestinal microbiota and the host involved in nutritional and metabolic diseases in animals are focused in this issue. This Special Issue is not only intended for the presentation of basic research results (cell or animal models), but is also open to results from epidemiological studies. In addition, novel measurement methods, bioinformatical tools and data analysis concepts are welcome.

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. Metabolites 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.
