Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Peptide hormones have been shown to be involved in almost all physiological cell responses in central and peripheral tissues. Furthermore, changes in the sysnthesis and release of peptide hormones from target tissues are associated with a wide range of pathological conditions. Growing evidence supports the synthesis of the peptide hormone-based design of drugs as an effective therapeutic alternative in many diseases. Proposed mechanisms are multifactorial and hormone peptides that work through corresponding receptor proteins with an ability to control energy homeostasis and metabolisn and modulate the downstream signaling pathways and physiological responses of cells, thus emerging as an effective drugs in many central and peripheral diseases. IJMS has been very successful in organizing multiple Special Issues in different areas of research and is pleased to announce a special issue on peptide hormones in human disease and health. We believe that this Special Issue will bring new information about peptide hormones targeting therapeutic intervention in many disease conditions. Here, we invite manuscripts or review articles for submission to a Special Issue on “Peptide Hormones in Human Diseases and Health” from the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) with an impact factor of 5.6.

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.
