About this Research Topic
The main goal of this Research Topic is to improve the knowledge on the role and mechanisms of nutraceuticals and functional foods from in vitro and in vivo studies in cell signaling, gene expression, cell/tissue functions, microbiome, metabolome and variation in effects due to gene polymorphisms related to lipid metabolism and profile.
This Research Topic is intended to provide readers the basic research on the regulatory mechanisms of nutraceuticals in lipid metabolism. We welcome Original research, Review, Mini-Review, Short communications and Perspectives articles that are related, but not limited to the following subtopics:
• Effect on adipogenesis, lipolysis and energy expenditure
• Natural compounds on white adipose tissue browning
• Role of nutraceuticals in potential therapeutic strategies to target lipid metabolism and cardiometabolic diseases
• Nutraceuticals and lipidome
• Nutrigenomic impact on lipid targets
• Nutraceutical effects on gut microbiome, and related interactions with heart, brain and other tissues, with implication for health and diseases.
• Genetic determinants of nutraceutical impact on lipid profile
• Functional food in metabolic dysfunction
Keywords: Dietary supplements, Nutraceutical, nutrigenomic, lipid metabolism, metabolic inflammation, energy expenditure
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
