Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adipose tissue, once viewed simply as an energy storage depot, is now recognized as a complex endocrine organ. It releases a wide range of bioactive molecules that influence systemic metabolism, inflammation, and overall health. Disruptions in adipose tissue function, often associated with obesity, can trigger chronic inflammation and contribute to the development of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and liver disease.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in modulating adipose tissue function. Dietary patterns, specific nutrients, and bioactive food components can either exacerbate or mitigate adipose tissue dysfunction and related inflammation. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research on the intersection of adipose tissue, nutrition, inflammation, and chronic disease. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address the following topics:
Mechanisms linking adipose tissue dysfunction to metabolic disease.
The impact of dietary components on adipose tissue inflammation and endocrine functions.
Nutritional interventions for targeting adipose tissue-related inflammation and metabolic health.
The role of the gut microbiome in the adipose–nutrition axis.
Novel strategies for assessing adipose tissue function and its response to nutritional interventions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com 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.
