Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of precision nutrition focuses on the study of individuals and their different nutrient requirements and on inter-individual differences in response to nutrients. How individuals responds to nutrients or to a diet is related to their inherited genetics and to the environment. We are all involved in complex interactions with the environment throughout our lifespan, which influence our health and wellness and the way we respond to pharmacological treatments. Each individual is exposed to different nutrients and chemicals depending on one’s diet and on one’s use of supplements, natural products, medications, drugs of abuse, tobacco products, and e-cigarettes. Each of us also comes in contact with different chemicals present in foods and water, at the workplace, at home, or in the garden, and derived from environmental pollution. Collectively and over a lifetime, all these substances leave behind a fingerprint in our organisms at the cellular and molecular levels. Metabolomics is an ideal tool to reveal metabolites and pathway perturbations that arise as a consequence of individual exposures to nutrients, different diets, medications, environmentally relevant chemicals, and other lifestyle factors. Considering the expansion of metabolomics and exposome research in the field of nutrition, this Special Issue aims to present studies applying metabolomics and exposome approaches to identify metabolic perturbations that can inform the development of nutritional interventions. We therefore invite original contributions, reviews, and viewpoint manuscripts based on clinical and preclinical data related to this topic.
