Overview

According to a new study published in Diabetologia, Insulin-resistant volunteers' postprandial substrate processing, energy expenditure, and thermoregulation are all affected by the indoor light environment in a time-dependent manner.Further Optimization of indoor lighting to a brighter during daytime hours and dimmer in the evening may provide cardiometabolic benefits.

Artificial light is available 24 hours a day in today's civilization, and most individuals are exposed to electrical light and light-emitting screens during the dark part of the natural light/dark cycle.
