Red Light Therapy Attenuates Prolonged LED light Exposure‐Associated Neuropathology and Mediates Circadian Clock Genes ‐ <i>Per</i>1 and <i>Bmal</i>1 Expression in Rats' Basal Ganglia
The findings from this study revealed that red light therapy attenuates LED light-exposure-induced anxiogenic responses and Per1 gene expression impairment. Consequently, these findings have the potential to inform the development of non-invasive treatment strategies targeting the improvement of sleep quality in the management of neurodegenerative disorders. However, safety assessments should be ensured for its validation.
