PHOTOBIOLOGY – PRESENTATION OF A BLUE LIGHT HAZARD IN VIVO EXPERIMENT ON THE RAT

An animal experiment was conducted aiming at a better understanding of blue-light retinal toxicity. Freely moving Wistar rats were exposed to intense, blue-rich light for up to eighteen hours. Their retinas were analysed using transmission electron microscopy, Western Blot, immunofluorescence, and Terminal transferase dUTP nick end labelling. This paper details the dosimetry aspects of the experiment and summarizes the biological results.
