Scientific Reports, Metabolic plasticity
The metabolic system can adapt to different environmental conditions, nutrient availability, and energy demands, showing its plasticity. This adaptability enables cells and organisms to switch between different metabolic pathways, optimizing energy production and substrate utilization. However, dysregulation of metabolic plasticity is associated with various disorders, including obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Understanding the mechanisms involved in this plasticity holds promise for developing novel therapeutic strategies for metabolic diseases and enhancing health in diverse contexts, such as aging.
The Collection aims to publish original research into the molecular and physiological mechanism underlying metabolic plasticity, as well as strategies targeting metabolism to treat health conditions and enhance wellbeing.
