About this Research Topic
Immunometabolism is an emerging area of research that seeks to understand the multilevel interactions between the metabolic and immune systems. On the other hand, there is extensive literature investigating the role of omega-3 fatty acids on both metabolism and immune cell functions. The objective of this Research Topic is to bring together a collection of scientific articles focused on understanding, in an integrated way, the role of omega-3 fatty acids on immunometabolism in health and disease.
In recent years, scientific research has brought to light the fundamental role that inflammation plays in the development of chronic diseases (e.g. obesity, diabetes, and cancer). These pathologies are also characterized by vast metabolic adjustments that can contribute to the worsening of their prognosis. Even in apparently healthy individuals, the onset of subclinical chronic inflammatory conditions can be a challenge for early interventions, raising awareness of prevention. This Research Topic's purpose is to highlight scientific research investigating which are the roles of omega-3 fatty acids on inflammation and metabolism in different tissues (e.g. immune, skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose).
We are interested in original and review manuscripts mainly related, but not restricted, to the following topics:
Omega-3 fatty acids, immunometabolism and:
1. Muscle metabolism.
2. Adipose tissue metabolism.
3. Hepatic metabolism.
4. Neuroendocrine regulation of metabolism.
5. Metabolic flexibility.
6. Physical activity
7. Adipokines.
8. Myokines.
9. Exerkines.
10. Chronic diseases (e.g. obesity, diabetes, cancer).
