Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The developed and, increasingly, the developing countries are facing an exponential increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD), whose onset and progression is driven by obesity and its metabolic aberrations. In particular, aberrant lipid metabolism in the context of obesity, the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes leads to an increase in circulating triglycerides, small and dense LDL lipoproteins and a decrease in HDL cholesterol as well as HDL lipoprotein functionality. In this context, unbalanced dietary patterns play a prominent role by fostering body weight gain, disrupting energy metabolism and promoting a pro-atherogenic lipid profile.

In line with this, this Special Issue aims at gathering novel insights into the impact of dietary patterns and nutrients on lipid metabolism, lipoprotein quality and lipoprotein lipidomic profile. As part of this Special Issue, we invite the submission of original manuscripts spanning basic to clinical research, but also meta-analysis, narrative and systematic reviews focusing on the role of diet in lipoprotein metabolism, the circulating lipid profile and their repercussions on CVD.

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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

HDL-cholesterol quality, including cholesterol distribution in HDL subfractions, is emerging as a key discriminant in dictating the effects of these lipoproteins on cardiovascular health. This study aims at elucidating the relationship between cholesterol distribution in HDL subfractions and CVD risk factors as well as diet quality and energy density in a population of pre- and postmenopausal women. Seventy-two women aged 52 ± 6 years were characterized metabolically and anthropometrically. Serum HDL-C subfractions were quantified using the Lipoprint HDL System. Cholesterol distribution in large HDL subfractions was lower in overweight individuals and study participants with moderate to high estimated CVD risk, hypertension, or insulin resistance. Cholesterol distribution in large, as opposed to small, HDL subfractions correlated negatively with insulin resistance, circulating triglycerides, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). VAT was an independent positive and negative predictor of cholesterol distribution in large and small HDL subfractions, respectively. Furthermore, an increase in energy intake could predict a decrease in cholesterol levels in large HDL subfractions while lipid intake positively predicted cholesterol levels in small HDL subfractions. Cholesterol distribution in HDL subfractions may represent an additional player in shaping CVD risk and a novel potential mediator of the effect of diet on cardiovascular health. Full article
