This Special Issue of the Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry contains 7 contributions that have been elaborated in the context of the mini-network "Consortium of Trans-Pyrenean Investigations on Obesity and Diabetes" (CTPIOD), which is on its 18th year of existence. This scientific community, mostly involving research groups from 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, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and other noncommunicable diseases. Accordingly, this special issue covers some nutritional, pharmacologic, and genetic aspects of the current knowledge of metabolic diseases. Some of these papers emerge from the lectures of the 18th Conference on Trans-Pyrenean Investigations in Obesity and Diabetes, organized by the University of Clermont-Ferrand and celebrated online in November 30, 2021.
