Shift Work Cause Cancer & Diabetes Disorders
Shift work can damage almost 1,500 of genes and associated with various health problems. It was as described a recent study. Jet lag is also one that can disrupt the sleep time.
It is feared to increase the risk of breast cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and other life-threatening diseases. The researchers found that disrupt the body's natural cycles for 24 hours because the rhythm is disrupted
gene.To assess the effect of body disorders, researchers placed 22 participants in 28 days without light and dark cycles naturally.
Blood samples showed that after the experiment the volunteers experienced a six-fold decrease in the number of genes that displayed a circadian rhythm with a period of approximately 24 hours. This was the result of their sleep-wake cycle is delayed and not as usual.
It is important to study to discover why this rhythm exist and find out about its impact. With such a procedure known if they are engaged in shift work they are involved in an increased risk of various health problems.
There are approximately 24 thousand genes possessed the human body where 1,400 more vulnerable to changes in sleep habits. All participants were in their 20s and Professor Dijk said the research was done very carefully and in a controlled laboratory.
"It would be nice to involve more participants but you can see why it is quite difficult. We took blood samples all the time" said Professor Dijk.
With the disruption of sleeping and eating patterns, then we will change the molecular processes that lead to gene disruption in rhythm.
"This study helps us understand the negative health outcomes caused by shift, jet lag and all the other conditions that can change the rhythm of our genes."
These results also imply to us that the sleep-wake schedule can be used to affect rhythms in biological processes. It also may be very relevant to the conditions in which our bodies age changed as in aging.
The doctors worried for many years that our culture within 24 hours for seven days could have an impact that not what we want.
One study shows a night shift brings tripled exposed to the risk of heart disease, while mental health issues, depression, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and stroke are associated with bad sleep habits, as reported by Dailymail.
More than 97 percent of rhythmic gene is not in sync with timely sleep really explain why we feel so bad when we have to work irregular shifts, or during jet lag.
