Special Issue: 2019 Consortium for Trans-Pyrenean Investigations on Obesity and Diabetes.

This Special Issue of the Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry contains 6 contributions that exemplify the advances obtained by the mini-network entitled "Consortium of Trans-Pyrenean Investigations on Obesity and Diabetes" (CTPIOD), which is on its 16th year of existence. This scientific community, essentially based in France and Spain, but also open to participants coming from all over the world, is focusing its attention on the prevention and the novel treatments of obesity, diabetes, and other non-communicable diseases. Accordingly, this special issue will cover some nutritional, pharmacologic, and genetic aspects of the current knowledge of metabolic diseases. Some of these papers emerge from the lectures of the 16th Conference on Trans-Pyrenean Investigations in Obesity and Diabetes, held in Soria (Spain) in June 2019.
