Lack of Melanopsin Is Associated with Extreme Weight Loss in Mice upon Dietary Challenge.
Metabolic disorders have been established as major risk factors for ocular complications and poor vision. However, little is known about the inverse possibility that ocular disease may cause metabolic dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, we assessed the metabolic consequences of a robust dietary ch...
