Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity and its comorbidities are a worldwide problem. Weight variation implies a loss in homeostasis and the causes are diverse, not only an imbalance in what we eat and what we burn. Multiple aspects are implied, with a key role played by adipose tissue. Based on the complex network of the body’s metabolism, metabolites have become an essential part of exploring metabolic health and weight. This Special Issue of Metabolites, "Metabolic Health and Weight," will be dedicated to any aspect related to weight maintenance and homeostasis. The topics that will be covered by this Special Issue include, but are not limited to the identification of metabolites with biological and/or clinical relevance in obesity and its comorbidities, with a special interest in adipose tissue metabolites and metabolites derived from gut microbiota. Weight variations (weight gain and especially weight loss interventions) and their implications for the weight management and metabolic health are particularly of interest. Manuscripts dealing with other pertinent challenging issues are also highly desired.
