The acute effects of morning bright light on the human white adipose tissue transcriptome: exploratory post hoc analysis
The circadian rhythm of the central brain clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is synchronized by light. White adipose tissue (WAT) is one of the metabolic endocrine organs containing a molecular clock, and it is synchronized by the SCN; excess WAT is a risk factor for health issues including type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). We hypothesized that bright-light exposure would affect the human WAT transcriptome. Therefore, we analyzed WAT biopsies from two previously performed randomized cross-over trials (trial 1: lean healthy men, and trial 2: men with obesity and DM2). RNA sequencing results showed major group differences between men with obesity and DM2 and lean healthy men, as well as a differential effect of bright light exposure.
