Nutrients, Food Bioactives, and Functional Foods in Gastrointestinal and Metabolic Disorders
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Topic focusing on "Nutrients, Food Bioactives, and Functional Foods in Gastrointestinal and Metabolic Disorders". This MDPI Topic aims to gather the latest research and developments in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge and identifying future directions. The Topic focuses on the critical roles of nutrients, food bioactives, and functional foods in the prevention and management of digestive diseases and metabolic disorders, whose growing prevalence underscores the need for the analysis and identification of novel bioactive food-derived compounds and innovative dietary strategies to target the pathophysiology of these alterations. This Topic aims to gather cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that explore the mechanisms through which specific nutrients and bioactive compounds potentially influence gut health, metabolic pathways, molecular and cellular mediators, and, ultimately, overall disease outcomes. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the health impact of dietary components on inflammation, gut microbiota, metabolic regulation, glycemic and lipid disorders, along with the design, development, and application of functional foods. Through this collection, we seek to advance our understanding of the preventive potential and health benefits of food-based approaches in managing digestive and metabolic disorders.
