Short- and Long-Term Chrono-Immune Consequences of Dim Light at Night Exposure in Male Mice at Different Life Stages. [PDF]

open access: yesClocks Sleep
The current use of artificial light during the natural dark phase has acquired contaminant dimensions, known as “light pollution”. It is well known that exposure to dim light at night (dLAN) during the postnatal period severely impairs the ...
