In the knowledge that human ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) is mainly due to the metabolic oxidative stress processes that the skin cells undergo in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), external stressors (like UV radiation), but also internal stressors (like diseases or brain activity) might strongly influence the UPE. This manuscript revises the scientific advances focused on the influence of internal factors on the human UPE. According to literature, the UPE seems to be influenced by some diseases (including diabetes, hemiparesis, protoporphyria, or a typical cold), and even by the cerebral intention/relaxation (brain activity/meditation). These allow to consider UPE as a natural and promising non-invasive spectroscopic tool for helping during the diagnosis of a variety of illnesses or stress- / mood-state disorders. Nonetheless, further research is required for answering some still unresolved controversial points.
已知人体超微弱光子发射（UPE）主要归因于皮肤细胞在活性氧（ROS）存在下发生的代谢氧化应激过程，外部应激源（如紫外线辐射），但内部应激源（如疾病或大脑活动）也可能会强烈影响 UPE。本文综述了重点关注内部因素对人体 UPE 影响的科学进展。根据文献，UPE 似乎受到某些疾病（包括糖尿病、偏瘫、原卟啉症或普通感冒）的影响，甚至受到大脑意图/放松（大脑活动/冥想）的影响。这些使 UPE 可以被视为一种自然且有前景的非侵入性光谱工具，有助于诊断各种疾病或压力/情绪状态障碍。然而，为了解决一些仍有争议的问题，仍需要进一步的研究。
