Aims and scope of journal
Nutrition & Diabetes is a peer-reviewed, open access online journal publishing clinical, metabolic, genetic and epidemiological studies that describe methodologies, mechanisms, and associations in relation to diabetes and nutrition-related diseases. The journal will also publish papers concerned with the benefits of nutrition and lifestyle interventions and therapeutic trials in diabetes or related diseases for both clinical disease management and health promotion.
Nutrition & Diabetes brings to the fore outstanding research that is novel and of interest to researchers, clinicians, epidemiologists, psychologists, diabetes educators, and other health professionals working in these fields.
Contributions of broad biological interest and impact are especially encouraged. Topics of particular interest within the journal's scope include those listed below:
Basic science
- molecular biology of adipose tissue, muscle and liver
- molecular basis of macronutrient metabolism and inflammation
- genetics - tissue gene expression; genotypes, SNPs and phenotypic variability
- epigenetics
Experimental medicine
- food intake regulation
- fat, carbohydrate and energy metabolism
- body compositon with focus on the assessment of individual fat depots and ectopic fat
- animal models of overweight and nutrition-related diseases
Metabolic Syndrome
- aetiological factors
- ethnic differences
- relationship with disease outcomes
- novel therapies
Dietary interventions
- reduction of cardiovascular disease risk factors
- reduction in overweight and its metabolic sequelae
- randomised controlled trials of dietary/lifestyle interventions in diabetes
- randomised, controlled trials of major dietary intervention studies e.g. fruit and vegetable/whole grains, Mediterranean diet studies on health risks
- use of functional food in prevention and treatment of NCDs
- personalized nutrition
Epidemiology
- prospective cohort studies of links between nutrition and lifestyle on NCDs
- population studies of associations between nutritional factors and NCDs, with particular emphasis on regional/international variations
- longitudinal studies addressing critical life periods and their long-term effect on NCDs

He is Vice President of The Obesity Society and its Regional Representative to the International Association for the Study of Obesity. He is Past President of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, the American Obesity Association, and the American Society for Clinical Nutrition. Dr. Atkinson has served as a consultant for a number of government agencies and more than 30 companies and non-profit foundations. His recent research focuses on virus-induced obesity. He and colleagues demonstrated that human adenovirus (Ad-36) produces obesity in animals and is associated with obesity in humans. He is interested in obesity policy and has advocated for young investigator programs nationally and internationally.
Ian Macdonald
Ian Macdonald is Director of Research for the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Nottingham University. He is a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition for the UK Food Standards Agency, President of the (UK) Nutrition Society (2007-2010) and Chair of the Finance Committee of the International Association for the Study of Obesity. He has published over 290 peer-reviewed publications and his research interests include human metabolism and dietary alterations in health and disease; fat, carbohydrate and energy metabolism in exercise, over- and undernutrition; metabolic disturbances in obesity and diabetes; metabolic and nutritional factors affecting cognitive function; and the effects of nutrients on vascular function.
Manfred James Müller
Current Director of the Institute of Human Nutrition and Food Science at Christian Albrechts University, Kiel, Germany, Manfred Müller's research interests lie in the regulation of energy balance and body composition, as well as in the epidemiology and prevention of childhood obesity. The former area of research relates to MR imaging and non imaging MR technology applied in controlled feeding studies in humans, whilst the latter involves quantitative analysis of attributable risk factors involved in childhood overweight and, thus, scientifically-based measures of prevention. He has published more than 250 peer-reviewed original research papers together with reviews and book chapters and is currently Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. He was the 2006 to 2009 president of the German Obesity Society (Deutsche Adipositas Gesellschaft, DAG) and, presently, is the speaker of the German Competent Network of Obesity (CNO).
