Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit an original research article, review, or perspective paper for this Special Issue.
Understanding the impact of food and its associated bioactive compounds in a system metabolic profile is crucial for improving human health, preventing diseases, developing personalized dietary recommendations, and/or identifying novel therapeutic targets for diseases and metabolic disorders.
The intake of nutrients and bioactive compounds or a complex mixture of these in food matrices can have profound effects on metabolism; therefore, in recent years, several studies have been conducted which focused on this topic. However, due to the complexity and multifaceted nature of the interactions and effects of food and its bioactive compounds, it is important to broaden our understanding of this subject.
Metabolic profiling or metabolomics is a rapidly growing field of research, mostly due to progress in the field due to the development of several state-of-the-art analytical techniques. Therefore, this Special Issue is dedicated to the report of recent advances in systems dynamics and metabolic changes, both in vitro and/or in vivo, using metabolic approaches, aiming to rationalize the complex relationships between diet, metabolism, health, and disease.

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).
