At least in mice, physical activity at the appropriate time of day appears to be able to enhance fat metabolism. Physical activity at different times of the day can affect the body in different ways since the biological processes depend on the circadian rhythms of the cells. The researchers studied various markers for fat metabolism and analysed which genes were active in adipose tissue after exercise. These effects were observed only in mice that exercised in the early active phase and were independent of food intake. Improve the health benefits of exerciseMice and humans share many basic physiological functions, and mice are a well-established model for human physiology and metabolism.
