Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive peptides have been associated with various health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and immunomodulatory effects. Understanding how these peptides are absorbed by the body can provide insights into their potential to prevent and manage chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and others. It can further help in optimizing food processing methods to enhance the availability of these beneficial compounds in the final food products. This can lead to the development of functional foods that offer targeted health benefits, contributing to improved overall public health.
This Special Issue of Metabolites will publish reviews and original articles covering the latest developments in metabolic absorption of bioactive peptides. We welcome research on topics related, but not limited, to the following: molecular and cellular mechanisms facilitating the absorption of bioactive peptides within the human body, the structure–function relationships of bioactive peptides and their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, investigations on the metabolic pathways and metabolites of peptide molecules within the body and the physiological effects and mechanisms of action of these bioactive peptides. Through a comprehensive exploration of these research areas, we aim to provide a deeper understanding of the interactions between bioactive peptides and the human body, expand the knowledge of the relationship between food and health and contribute to the advancement of the food industry.

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.
