Scientists have shed light on why exercising at certain times in the day may help reduce the risk of diabetes. New research published in Cell Metabolism examined the effects of exercise performed in the early morning and late evening.
The timing of exercises was found to be specific to different tissues and organs. Samples were taken from mice from seven tissues around the body, as well as the blood, the Express reports.
The timing of exercises produced different effects on the heart, muscles, brain, liver and more.This makes the question of a 'best' time to exercise more complicated, and there isn't currently a catch-all answer.The main gain from this research is an improved understanding of how these organs communicate with each other and how the timekeeping mechanisms (circadian clocks) can be rewritten by exercise.Circadian rhythm disorders have been linked to diabetes for years.The way the pancreas secretes insulin changes over a 24 hour cycle.This could explain why eating at night has a greater impact on diabetes risk, and that night shift workers eating at daylight hours have better health than when eating during shifts.Obesity is also a potential consequence of circadian disorders.Dominik Lutter, Head of Computational Discovery Research from the Helmholtz Diabetes Center at Helmholtz Munich, said: "As this is the first comprehensive study that summarises time and exercise dependent metabolism over multiple tissues, it is of great value to generate and refine systemic models for metabolism and organ crosstalk."The fruits of his research is an 'Atlas of Exercise Metabolism' which maps the signalling pathways activated by exercise and how they change over the day."A better understanding of how exercise affects
