Suppression of salivary melatonin secretion under 100-Hz flickering and non-flickering blue light
Abstract Background Bright light at night is known to suppress melatonin secretion. Novel photoreceptors named intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are mainly responsible for projecting dark/bright information to the suprachiasmatic nucleus and thus regulating the circadian s...
