Nutrition & Metabolism

Nutrition & Metabolism is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal focused on the integration of nutrition, exercise physiology, clinical investigations, and molecular and cellular biochemistry of metabolism. The areas of interest of Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in obesity, diabetes, lipidemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology that have an underlying basis in metabolism. Likewise, we seek submission of manuscripts on the biochemistry of metabolism, cell signaling, molecular and cellular biology of nutrients, nutrient gene interactions and other areas that have implications for human nutrition and medicine. Current, but not exclusive, interests are metabolic effects of diet composition, interactions of macronutrients, effect of nutrients on gene expression, metabolic control and compartment models, nutritional effect of hormones, and genomic analysis of dietary phenomena. Recent events that provide the rationale for Nutrition & Metabolism are 1) awareness of an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, lipidemias and other related diseases, 2) the sudden increase in popularity of diets, such as low carbohydrate diets, to achieve weight loss, and 3) a renewed interest in intermediary metabolism accompanied by the development of new tools and techniques for genomic and metabolic analysis. With the considerable activity shown in these areas, rapid dissemination of new information is clearly valuable. Whereas articles that appear in existing journals discuss intermediary metabolism in a nutritional context, there is a need for unique and explicit focus for this discipline.

《营养与代谢》是一本开放获取、同行评议的在线期刊，专注于营养、运动生理学、临床研究、代谢分子和细胞生物化学的整合。营养与代谢的研究领域包括肥胖、糖尿病、血脂、代谢综合征和运动生理学，这些都是新陈代谢的基础。同样，我们也希望提交关于代谢生物化学、细胞信号、营养分子和细胞生物学、营养基因相互作用以及其他对人类营养和医学有意义的领域的手稿。目前，但并非唯一的兴趣是饮食组成的代谢作用，大量营养素的相互作用，营养物质对基因表达的影响，代谢控制和室室模型，激素的营养作用，饮食现象的基因组分析。最近的事件提供营养和新陈代谢的理由是1)肥胖流行病的认识,糖尿病、脂血和其他相关疾病,2)突然增加流行的饮食,如低碳水化合物的饮食,达到减肥目的,和3)兴趣重燃中间代谢的发展伴随着基因组和代谢分析的新工具和技术。由于这些领域的大量活动，迅速传播新的资料显然是有价值的。现有期刊上发表的文章讨论的是营养背景下的中介代谢，而这门学科需要独特而明确的重点。
