Call for papers-The Role of Bioactive Lipids in Homeostasis and Pathology

Frontiers in Physiology

Bioactive lipid products of lipid metabolism 

play active roles in regulating cellular func-

tions. These bioactive lipid mediators, includ-

ing fatty acids and their metabolic products, 

acylglycerol derivatives, endocannabinoids, 

lysophospholipids, sphingolipids, cholesterol

metabolites, etc., have numerous functions 

important for homeostatic regulation of 

energy metabolism, the cardiovascular system,

strength, behavior etc. However, they can also

contribute to pathologies such as insulin 

resistance, inflammation, obesity, type 1 and 

type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, cardio-

vascular diseases, etc.

About this Research Topic

• Based on lipidomics, elucidate the change 

of bioactive lipid metabolism under conditions

of metabolic diseases and the underlying 

mechanisms.

• Elucidate the effects of the bioactive lipids on cell behavior and tissue micro-environment.

• Explore the molecular mechanism of the bio-

active lipids participating energy in

homeostasis and related disorders; 

identify receptors and explore the signal 

transduction of the bioactive lipids.

• The role of the bioactive lipids in the cross-

talk among metabolic tissues.

• Explore the potential of bioactive lipids or 

their metabolic enzymes as therapeutic targets

of energy metabolic disorders and related 

diseases, such as obesity, insulin resistance, 

type 1 and type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, cardiovascular diseases, etc.
