Concentrations of luteinizing hormone in the serums of human neonates were altered when the neonates were exposed to prolonged, intense illumination (phototherapy) with their eyes covered. Concentrations decreased after 48 to 72 hours of exposure, increased 6 to 9 days after phototherapy, and subsequently returned to levels similar to those of controls. These data suggest that light may affect pituitary-gonadal function in the human neonate.
当新生儿眼睛被遮盖并接受长时间强光照射(光疗)时,其血清中促黄体生成素的浓度会发生改变。照射48至72小时后浓度降低,光疗6至9天后浓度升高,随后又恢复到与对照组相似的水平。这些数据表明,光线可能会影响人类新生儿的垂体-性腺功能。
