Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clinical syndrome associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Its primary features include dyslipidemia, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and insulin resistance (IR). Recently, research has revealed that MetS is not only a manifestation of internal metabolic disturbances but is also closely associated with various dermatological conditions, including inflammatory skin diseases, autoimmune skin diseases, and skin tumors. These studies have clarified the complex mechanisms underlying the interaction between MetS and these skin diseases, including IR, chronic inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress. This review summarizes the association between MetS and related dermatological conditions and their shared physiological mechanisms. It aims to provide clinicians with new therapeutic strategies and preventive measures to improve the treatment outcomes and quality of life of patients with skin conditions.
期刊介绍:
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.
