Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Biomolecules dedicated to exploring the therapeutic potential of natural products in metabolic diseases. Nature has long been a source of inspiration for scientific discovery, and in this Special Issue, we will delve into the chemistry, biology, and biomedical applications of bioactive molecules with the aim of advancing future medicine and public health. Natural products display significant potential in counteracting metabolic diseases. Diverse biomolecules derived from plants, fungi, marine organisms, and other natural sources, like phytochemicals, polysaccharides, vitamins, and bioactive peptides/lipids, have been so far reported to display benefits related to a range of bioeffects such as the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, improved insulin sensitivity, the promotion of liver health, the support of weight management, cardiovascular benefits, and microbiome support, among other effects. Due to such diverse range of desirable bioactivities, exploring the therapeutic potential of natural products can provide valuable insights for develo** novel treatments and preventive strategies against metabolic diseases.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that address the challenges and opportunities associated with all aspects related to natural products research in the context of metabolic diseases. From phytochemicals to herbal remedies, our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of how natural products can be harnessed to combat metabolic disorders.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and sharing groundbreaking insights into the versatile applications of natural products to counteract metabolic diseases.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
