Antidepressant effect of blue light on depressive phenotype induced by the unfixed light pattern in mice.

Abstract excerpt

Shift work and social jetlag groups are at higher risk for depression, with the unfixed light pattern (ULP) potentially serving as one of critical risk factors. Evidence suggests that the ULP induces depressive phenotypes in rodents, possibly mediated by the circadian-orexinergic system.
