A new Open Access journal, Nutrition & Metabolism (N&M) will publish articles that integrate nutrition with biochemistry and molecular biology. The open access process is chosen to provide rapid and accessible dissemination of new results and perspectives in a field that is of great current interest. Manuscripts in all areas of nutritional biochemistry will be considered but three areas of particular interest are lipoprotein metabolism, amino acids as metabolic signals, and the effect of macronutrient composition of diet on health. The need for the journal is identified in the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemias and related diseases, and a sudden increase in popular diets, as well as renewed interest in intermediary metabolism.
一本新的开放获取期刊《营养与代谢》(N&M)将发表把营养与生物化学和分子生物学相结合的文章。选择开放获取的方式是为了在当前备受关注的领域迅速且广泛地传播新成果和新观点。营养生物化学各个领域的稿件都将予以考虑,但特别感兴趣的三个领域是脂蛋白代谢、作为代谢信号的氨基酸,以及饮食中常量营养素组成对健康的影响。肥胖症、糖尿病、血脂异常及相关疾病的流行,流行饮食的突然增加,以及对中间代谢重新产生的兴趣,都表明了对该期刊的需求。
