Individuals with type 2 diabetes often receive diet and exercise counseling as part of their treatment, and both interventions can affect clock and mitochondrial genes, says Brendan Gabriel, a researcher in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet.
Brendan Gabriel is lead author of the study with Ali Altintas, a senior lecturer at Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) at the University of Copenhagen.
We know that sleep disturbances are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and through our study we are now showing how these disturbances may be linked to the molecular biology of cells, says Ali Altintas.
