Timing of exercise differentially impacts adipose tissue gain in male adolescent rats.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Circadian rhythms of metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral fluctuations and their alterations can impact health. An important gap in knowledge in the field is whether the time of the day of exercise and the age of onset of exercise exert distinct effects at the level of whole-body adipose tissue and body composition. The goal of the present study was to determine how exercise at different times of the day during adolescence impacts the adipose tissue transcriptome and content in a rodent model.

Methods

Rats were subjected to one of four conditions during their adolescence: early active phase control or exercise (EAC or EAE; ZT13), and late active phase control or exercise (LAC or LAE; ZT23). The effects of exercise timing were assessed at the level of subcutaneous an
