Suppression of pineal melatonin in Peromyscus leucopus by different monochromatic wavelengths of visible and near-ultraviolet light (UV-A)

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of monochromatic visible and near-ultraviolet radiation (UV-A) on pineal melatonin suppression in the white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus. To this end, mice were entrained to a daily cycle 8 h of light and 16 h of darkness. During the night wh...
