Human Nutrition & Metabolism is a new Open Access venue for human research in the field of nutrition and metabolism.Changes in modern era lifestyle and disease epidemiology demonstrate the importance of nutrition and metabolism for human health. Awareness of its relevance has led governments, funding- and science-bodies to speed up nutritional and metabolic research.Many of the important steps that define molecular interactions, genetic mechanisms or metabolic pathways in the fields of nutrition and metabolism, come from preclinical studies that have laid the cornerstones of our current knowledge and nutritional and metabolic care. However, translating preclinical data to humans remains a challenge.Human Nutrition & Metabolism is dedicated to stimulating and publishing research which focuses on the physiology and pathophysiology of nutrition and metabolism in humans. The journal publishes original papers, reviews, commentaries and opinion pieces in human nutritional and metabolic science to bridge the gap between preclinical and clinical work. Papers can focus on areas such as lifestyle, diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic diseases, undernutrition, in-hospital nutrition, disease specific nutrition, macronutrients and micronutrients. Human Nutrition & Metabolism welcomes manuscripts from pediatrics to geriatrics regardless of global background.We pursue dissemination of human research results to secure evidence based, state of the art and innovative nutritional and metabolic care. In Human Nutrition & Metabolism, the bench meets the bedside.
