Overview

Human nutrition and metabolism is the study of how dietary nutrients are digested, absorbed, transported, and biochemically transformed to provide energy and the substrates for growth, maintenance, and regulation. It links the intake and composition of the diet to the metabolic pathways that process carbohydrate, fat, protein, and micronutrients, and to the integrated regulation of energy balance, substrate utilization, and homeostasis. The field encompasses the interaction of nutrients with gene expression through nutritional epigenetics, the metabolic role of the gut microbiota, the handling of bioactive and potentially toxic dietary constituents, and the ways in which metabolic adaptation shapes responses to diet in health and disease. Understanding these processes underpins the prevention and management of nutrition-related and metabolic disorders. Peer-reviewed research in this area examines the interplay of epigenetics and nutrition, the toxicological metabolism of biogenic amines, the role of the gut microbiota in diet and health, the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on serum triglyceride levels, dietary treatment in conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, antioxidant metabolism in biological aging, and culturally tailored interventions affecting cardio-metabolic risk. Studies combine review, clinical and observational research, and mechanistic investigation across diverse populations. This work connects dietary intake to metabolic function and health. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research in human nutrition addressing nutrient metabolism and its relationship to health and disease.
