What is Nutrition & Metabolism?

Area of Science:

• Nutritional Biochemistry
• Metabolic Signaling
• Molecular Nutrition

Background:

• Growing epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemias necessitate updated research.
• Increased public interest in diets and intermediary metabolism highlights a need for accessible scientific discourse.

Purpose of the Study:

• To launch Nutrition & Metabolism, an Open Access journal.
• To facilitate rapid dissemination of research integrating nutrition with biochemistry and molecular biology.
• To focus on key areas: lipoprotein metabolism, amino acids as metabolic signals, and macronutrient effects on health.

Main Methods:

• Publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts.
• Open Access model for broad accessibility.
• Focus on interdisciplinary research bridging nutrition and molecular sciences.

Main Results:

• Establishment of a new platform for nutritional science.
• Potential for accelerated discovery in metabolic and nutritional research.
• Increased accessibility of cutting-edge findings to researchers and the public.

Conclusions:

• Nutrition & Metabolism will serve a critical role in advancing understanding of diet-related diseases.
• The journal aims to be a leading resource for research at the intersection of nutrition, metabolism, and molecular biology.
• Open Access publication ensures timely and widespread dissemination of vital research findings.
