Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic regulation networks play a crucial role in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of human diseases and the actions of nutrients, hormones, and medical agents. As such, research based on these networks is also important to discover new diagnoses, as well as preventing and treating diseases.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of metabolic regulation networks and their mechanisms by sharing contributions from academic research institutes and laboratories consolidating our understanding of this area. We welcome original research, reviews, and short communication articles that show novel findings related to metabolic regulation networks, including (but not limited to) topics such as metabolomics and the novel roles of genes, medical agents, nutrients, and hormones in metabolic regulation.
The topics of interest for this SI include the following:
- Metabolomics
- Role of genes in the regulation of the metabolism
- Actions of medical agents on the metabolism
- Actions of nutrients on the metabolism
- Network of hormones
- Regulators of bile acids
- Regulators of tryptophan’s metabolites
- Regulators of serotonin
- Regulators of food intake
- Regulators of body weight
- Regulators of glucoregulatory hormones
- Regulators of adipocyte-derived hormones
- Regulators of gut-derived hormones
- Regulators of liver-derived hormones
- Metabolic networks and mechanisms in diabetes, obesity, fatty liver and/or MAFLD

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
