Nutrition & Metabolism

Journal Title：Nutrition & Metabolism

Nutrition & Metabolism publishes studies with a clear focus on nutrition and metabolism with applications ranging from nutrition needs, exercise physiology, clinical and population studies, as well as the underlying mechanisms in these aspects.

The areas of interest for Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in molecular nutrition in the context of obesity, diabetes, lipedemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology. Manuscripts related to molecular, cellular and human metabolism, nutrient sensing and nutrient–gene interactions are also in interest, as are submissions that have employed new and innovative strategies like metabolomics/lipidomics or other omic-based biomarkers to predict nutritional status and metabolic diseases.

Key areas we wish to encourage submissions from include:

-how diet and specific nutrients interact with genes, proteins or metabolites to influence metabolic phenotypes and disease outcomes;

-the role of epigenetic factors and the microbiome in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases and their influence on metabolic responses to diet and food components;

-how diet and other environmental factors affect epigenetics and microbiota; the extent to which genetic and nongenetic factors modify personal metabolic responses to diet and food compositions and the mechanisms involved;

-how specific biologic networks and nutrient sensing mechanisms attribute to metabolic variability.

Nutrition & Metabolism 发表的研究明确关注营养和新陈代谢，其应用范围包括营养需求、运动生理学、临床和人群研究，以及这些方面的潜在机制。

营养与代谢感兴趣的领域包括肥胖、糖尿病、脂血、代谢综合征和运动生理学背景下的分子营养研究。与分子、细胞和人类新陈代谢、营养传感和营养-基因相互作用相关的手稿也很受关注，提交的文稿也采用了新的和创新的策略，如代谢组学/脂质组学或其他基于组学的生物标志物来预测营养状况和代谢疾病。

我们希望鼓励提交的主要领域包括：

-饮食和特定营养素如何与基因、蛋白质或代谢物相互作用以影响代谢表型和疾病结果；

-表观遗传因素和微生物组在代谢性疾病发病机制中的作用及其对饮食和食物成分代谢反应的影响；

-饮食和其他环境因素如何影响表观遗传学和微生物群；遗传和非遗传因素在多大程度上改变了个人对饮食和食物成分的代谢反应以及所涉及的机制；

-特定的生物网络和营养感应机制如何归因于代谢变异性。

Nutrition & Metabolism创刊于2004年，由BMC出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 营养学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度偏慢,4-8周，影响因子指数3.211，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
