About this Research Topic
The goal of this Research Topic is to explore and understand the influence of bioactive compounds on metabolic syndrome. We aim to uncover innovative dietary strategies and therapeutic approaches. Bioactive compounds, found in a variety of foods, have the potential to offer significant therapeutic benefits through their effects on metabolic pathways. Advancing our knowledge in this area could lead to improved health outcomes for individuals at risk of, or managing, metabolic syndrome.
We welcome submissions including but not limited to the following aspects:
• Nutrient Effects on Gene Expression: Investigating how bioactive compounds affect gene expression under stress. Focus on post-transcriptional regulation, including mRNA stability, splicing, and translation efficiency.
• Bioactive Compounds and Translational Control: Examining dietary bioactive compounds (e.g., polyphenols, carotenoids, flavonoids) in modulating translational control during stress response. Study their impact on specific stress pathways and cellular health.
• Bioactive Compounds and Metabolic Health: Exploring bioactive compounds in preventing and managing chronic diseases (e.g., obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer). Highlight the effects of these compounds on cellular metabolism and the integrated stress response in disease progression.
