Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue is designed to examine the intricate relationship between the metabolic processes that begin during fetal development and extend to the transformative phase of puberty. Puberty is a pivotal period of physiological development marked by hormonal surges and physical transformations, and a metabolic milieu that plays a vital role in shaping an individual's lifelong health. This is a call to action for researchers and experts to delve into this compelling nexus.
Authors are encouraged to contribute original research articles or reviews that span the diverse aspects of this multifaceted relationship. The scope encompasses a wide spectrum of disciplines, including endocrinology, pediatrics, genetics, epidemiology, and nutritional science. Both clinical investigations and experimental studies are welcomed, with a keen interest in research that can inform clinical practices and public health strategies.
The purpose of this special issue is to establish a comprehensive platform for researchers, healthcare professionals, and scholars to disseminate their insights, findings, and innovations concerning the interplay between metabolic dynamics and the events at puberty. By fostering collaborative discourse among experts from various domains, we aspire to advance our comprehension of how metabolic health during childhood and adolescence can substantially influence lifelong well-being. Ultimately, this knowledge will inform targeted interventions, preventive measures, and therapeutic strategies, tailored to individuals navigating the intricate intersection of metabolic factors and puberty.
Authors are invited to contribute their expertise to this special issue, contributing to the collective endeavor of unraveling the mysteries and implications of the metabolic puzzle of puberty.
