Transcriptional alterations demonstrate that adipose tissue responded to exercise completely distinct from skeletal muscle in the same human subjects. Adipose tissue showed acute and repeated reduction in transcripts of lipid uptake, synthesis and storage. The data also suggest the restoration of a healthier circadian rhythm in adipose tissue of subjects with obesity after regularly performed exercise. The interconnection of circadian rhythm with lipid metabolism possibly contributes to improved metabolic health and prevention of diabetes.
