Potential interactions between POPs and PA on insulin sensitivity. Numerous mechanisms interact to ensure stable insulin sensitivity. However, POPs can disrupt these mechanisms (red arrows), and conversely, PA could limit their disruption (green arrows). However, these results are based on studies that did not directly compare exposure to POPs and the practice of PA. There is therefore a lack of knowledge about the level of protection that PA can provide following exposure to POPs (yellow question marks).
