Global Diabetes Open Access Journal publishes studies with a clear focus on nutrition and metabolism with applications ranging from nutrition needs, exercise physiology, diabetes clinical and population studies, as well as the underlying mechanisms in these aspects. The areas of interest for Global Diabetes Open Access Journal 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.
