Metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease are alarmingly rising around the globe and causing major health problems leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Many essential nutrients and minerals play a vital role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Phosphate, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iron, and vitamins are required for controlling the homeostatic balance of cells and tissue functions. Earlier works by Hartman et al. have shown that salivary phosphate levels can predict the genesis of obesity in children. Despite progress in our understanding of pathomechanism of metabolic diseases, there are knowledge gaps of how dysregulations of various minerals and nutrients are triggering and propagating metabolic disorders.
