Stress Biology - Call for Papers --- Special Issue "Redox-Mediated Regulations in Lipid Metabolic Disorders in Animals"
Lipids, such as triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, and free fatty acids, play essential roles in digestive physiology in animals. Lipid dysregulations induce stress that disrupts homeostasis, thereby affecting growth, development and reproduction procedures in the animal. The endocrine system interplays with the immune system to maintain homeostasis in metabolic disordered animals. However, studies on lipid metabolism in cellular organelles, including lipid droplets, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lysosomes and peroxisomes, have been quite limited. Therefore, better understanding of the whole processes in lipid metabolism in cellular organelles of the metabolic disordered animals is of great significance. This special issue aims to publish state-of-the-art articles that study redox-mediated regulations in lipid metabolic disordered animals.
The specific subjects covered in this special issue include：
- Dietary lipid in regulating lipid metabolism and animal health;
- Natural nutrients (products) in the metabolic programming of animal lipid disorder;
- Endocrinal role of liver, gut, and adipose tissue in stress;
- Response of lipid droplets in stress development;
- Nutritional interventions of dietary lipids used to alleviate stress;
- Gut microbiota/metabolites mediated stress-related lipid dysregulation or associated organelles dysfunction.
Original research papers, reviews, and short communications can be submitted to the special issue.
