Intense blue light therapy during the night-time does not suppress the rhythmic melatonin biosynthesis in a young boy

Objective. Melatonin is a hormone predominantly synthesized and secreted during the night by the pineal gland. Artificial light at night, especially its blue part, acutely suppresses the melatonin production. Th e aim of the present study was to find out, whether an intense blue light phototherapy o...
