Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Edible natural products, such as fruits or vegetables, play a pivotal role in preventing chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress is well recognized as a critical pathological factor in the development of degenerative neurological diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and metabolic diseases. Bioactive compounds in natural products, including polyphenols or flavonoids, exhibit a wide range of physiological functionalities through diverse antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. Despite several limitations—such as low bioavailability, challenges in crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), complex mechanisms of action, and pharmacokinetic constraints—these compounds remain promising candidates in the development of natural-product-based therapeutics and health supplements due to their potential efficacy in promoting health.
This Special Issue of Nutrients entitled "Dietary Bioactive Compounds: Implications on Inflammation and Oxidative Stress" aims to address the latest research trends in the efficacy and mechanisms of action of dietary bioactive compounds in diseases involving oxidative and inflammatory processes. We especially welcome innovative research articles that utilize modern cellular and molecular biological approaches to elucidate the mechanisms through which bioactive compounds exert effects across diverse molecular pathways. This Special Issue will incorporate both systematic reviews and original research, providing a comprehensive overview of the impact of bioactive compounds on oxidative stress and inflammation.

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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
