Relevance of High Glycemic Index Breakfast for Heart Rate Variability among Young Students with Early and Late Chronotypes by Bettina Krueger, Bianca Stutz, Rasmus Jakobsmeyer, Claus Reinsberger, Anette Buyken

“…Background and Objectives: Previous reports suggest that spikes in plasma glucose affect cardiac autonomic modulation, reflected by a decrease in heart rate variability (HRV). Hence, the hypothesis of this analysis is that cardiac autonomic changes following an early high-glycemic-index (GI) breakfast are more prominent in individuals with later chronotypes than in those with earlier chronotypes because of their unfavorable metabolic situation at this time of the day. …”
