Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The biodiversity of the marine environment and the associated chemical variety of marine organisms contribute to an enormous range of biological effects. Marine fishes are considered important sources of bioactive compounds with several biological activities, including anti-Alzheimer, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-oxidant, among others. Furthermore, the growing incidence of human chronic diseases increases the demand for new and safe therapeutics, in order to treat and prevent these health issues. Moreover, the inclusion of compounds from marine fishes can add value by incorporating environmental, social, cultural, or ethical values based on the use of sustainable resource.
This Special Issue aims to gather research on the potential use of natural compounds from marine fishes for applications in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, original research articles, as well as reviews, focused on value-added products and/or ingredients from marine fish with potential health benefits are welcome.
