Abstract des Autors

It is my pleasure to introduce this special thematic issue of Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (APNM) on metabolic syndrome (MetS). This publication comes at an exciting time, in the midst of debates encompassing the most appropriate clinical definition of MetS, its potential etiological pathways, and questions about the very existence of MetS as an entity unto itself. This compilation of invited reviews and original research articles provides an overview and sampling of the latest research on MetS. It has been designed to meet the interests of the diverse readership of APNM and to stimulate further research in this important area of investigation.
