Abstract

Bright artificial light appears to have similar effects in humans as in other species. Bright light may therefore be used as a clinical research tool and as a therapeutic modality for treating certain biological rhythm disorders. Melatonin production appears to be a particularly useful "biological marker" for the human endogenous circadian pacemaker and the effects of light.

摘要

明亮的人造光对人类似乎具有与其他物种类似的作用。因此，强光可用作临床研究工具和治疗某些生物节律紊乱的治疗手段。褪黑素的分泌似乎是反映人体内在昼夜节律起搏器和光照效应的一种特别有用的“生物标志物”。
