Scope & Guideline
Advancing Knowledge in Endocrinology and Metabolism
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Endocrine Disorders and Metabolic Diseases:
The journal focuses on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of various endocrine disorders, including diabetes, thyroid diseases, and metabolic syndrome. - Hormonal Regulation and Function:
Research on the regulatory roles of hormones in growth, metabolism, and reproductive health is a core area, exploring how hormonal imbalances affect overall health. - Innovative Therapies and Treatments:
The journal publishes studies on novel therapeutic approaches, including pharmacological treatments, lifestyle interventions, and surgical options for managing endocrine disorders. - Genetics and Molecular Mechanisms:
It emphasizes the genetic and molecular underpinnings of endocrine diseases, including the use of Mendelian randomization studies to uncover causal relationships. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
The journal encourages interdisciplinary research that integrates fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and epidemiology to address complex endocrine issues.
Trending and Emerging
- Mendelian Randomization Studies:
There is a significant increase in the use of Mendelian randomization to explore causal relationships between genetic factors and endocrine disorders, enhancing our understanding of disease mechanisms. - Gut-Brain-Endocrine Axis:
Research exploring the connections between gut microbiota, brain function, and hormonal regulation is on the rise, highlighting the importance of the gut-brain-endocrine axis in health and disease. - Telemedicine and Digital Health Solutions:
The integration of telemedicine and digital health technologies in managing endocrine disorders has become a prominent focus, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. - Precision Medicine Approaches:
There is a growing trend towards precision medicine, with studies focusing on individualized treatment strategies based on genetic, metabolic, and phenotypic characteristics. - Environmental Endocrine Disruptors:
Research on the effects of environmental factors and endocrine disruptors on reproductive health and metabolic diseases is emerging as a critical area of investigation.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Dietary Interventions:
Research centered on conventional dietary modifications has decreased as more emphasis is placed on personalized and pharmacological approaches to managing endocrine disorders. - Static Models of Endocrine Function:
The reliance on static models to assess endocrine function is waning as dynamic and real-time monitoring techniques, such as continuous glucose monitoring, gain traction. - Single-Factor Hormonal Studies:
Studies focusing solely on individual hormones without considering their interactions with other metabolic factors are less prevalent, as comprehensive and systems biology approaches become more favored. - Basic Science Research in Isolation:
There is a noticeable decrease in purely basic science studies that do not translate into clinical relevance, with a growing preference for research that bridges laboratory findings with clinical applications. - Non-Epidemiological Studies:
Research that lacks a population-based or epidemiological approach is declining, as there is a push towards studies that can inform public health and clinical practices.
