Lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and cancer represent one of the greatest challenges to health and wellbeing in the developed world. These complex disorders are difficult to treat effectively, and are increasingly prevalent as sedentary lifestyles and calorie-rich, nutrient-poor diets cause an obesity crisis throughout the developed world. The
Metabolism, Diet and Disease conference aims to show how basic research on the biochemistry, cell biology and genetics of metabolism can address the major health problems of cancer, obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance, and can explain ageing and longevity.
In addition, the conference provides a forum to explore the role of lifestyle factors such as diet in disease. This cross-journal collection builds on these aims by using research from across the fields of nutrition, metabolism and oncology to investigate disease prevention and treatment using both lifestyle changes and pharmacological interventions.
