Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of comorbid conditions, including obesity, hypertension, and disordered carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism constitutes a significant health and social problem around the world. Metabolic syndrome can lead to several serious and chronic complications, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, kidney disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The most important risk factors are diet (particularly sugar-sweetened beverage consumption), genetics, aging, low physical activity, and excessive alcohol use. The management of metabolic syndrome is a complex and multifaceted process including drug therapy and lifestyle interventions. Evidence from various preclinical and clinical studies has revealed that various dietary components (nutrients, phytochemicals, prebiotics/probiotics, etc.) play a significant role in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome and emerge as potential therapeutic agents in a broad range of metabolic syndrome models.
This Special Issue aims to provide current contemporary knowledge on the effects of dietary components (nutrients, phytochemicals, prebiotics/probiotics, etc.) on metabolic syndrome, with the ultimate aim of offering new insights into potential preventive or therapeutic approaches (dietary and pharmacological intervention) for the clinical management of metabolic syndrome.
We warmly welcome reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses),original research articles, and clinical studies to be submitted to this Special Issue.
