Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Mediterranean diet is characterized by high intake levels of fruit, vegetables, olive oil, whole grains, legumes, and blue fish, with restrictions on red meat and dairy intake, moderate but regular consumption levels of red wine, and low consumption levels of manufactured foods including sugar-sweetened foods and drinks. It is considered one of the healthiest diets for health and longevity.
Various reports suggest that the Mediterranean-style diet provides several dietary compounds that have been reported to exert beneficial biological effects against a wide spectrum of chronic illnesses and age-related diseases, such as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, mental, eye, inflammatory, and infectious diseases. Among the bioactive nutrients identified as protective factors, natural polyphenols, carotenoids, retinoids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids have been reported to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatory, and anti-tumoral properties.
Although huge advances have been made within epidemiological research on the beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet in recent years, especially in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, there is still insufficient scientific evidence on the molecular mechanisms by which its nutrients and compounds exert beneficial effects on human health.
This Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled Mediterranean Nutrients and Oils: 2nd Edition, aims to provide the latest findings on the impact of the Mediterranean diet, and its nutrients and oils, on human wellbeing and health. We hope to receive articles from outstanding experts on this topic. Both original epidemiological studies on humans and original articles on cell and animal models, as well as review articles that provide insight into the physiology and molecular benefits of the Mediterranean diet and its bioactives, are welcome.
