Exposure to Artificial Light at Night Alters Ultradian Rhythms in Endothelial Function
Mice exposed to dark nights displayed an ultradian pattern of maximum endothelial-dependent relaxation that was antiphase between the sexes. Rhythmic patterns of relaxation were abolished by ALAN exposure in both sexes suggesting that ALAN exposure can affect ultradian rhythms in physiology and behavior.
