Impact of Prolonged Light‐Emitting Diode Exposure on Serotonin Gene Expression and Gut Microbiota in a Rat Model
These findings suggest that prolonged exposure to LED light disrupts serotonin gene expression and alters gut microbiota composition, potentially impairing gut-brain axis function. To mitigate these effects, limiting excessive nighttime LED exposure is recommended.
