Outline of Final Research Achievements

Light stimulation from the eye promotes the secretion of brain hormones and corticosteroids through the endogenous light-sensitive retinal nerve cells. Thus the illumination light in daily life affects the lipid metabolism. It is considered likely to be involved in the onset or exacerbation of dyslipidemia. In this study, the results of evaluation using a mouse for changes in the brain hormone and lipid metabolism enzyme produced by the LED light is a new illumination sources increasingly widespread, was suggested effect on the lipid metabolism.
