Reports Outline Glucose Intolerance Study Results from South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (Female Psammomys obesus Are Protected from Circadian Disruption-Induced Glucose Intolerance, Cardiac Fibrosis and Adipocyte...).

A study conducted by the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute found that circadian disruption, which is the disturbance of the body's internal clock, can lead to glucose intolerance, cardiac fibrosis, and adipocyte tissue dysfunction in male sand rats. However, the effects of circadian disruption on female sand rats were not observed. The study suggests that sex plays a role in how circadian disruption affects glucose tolerance, cardiac function, and adipose tissue. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these sex differences. [Extracted from the article]
