Artificial light exposure disrupts circadian rhythms and increases fatty liver disease risk

Long-term disruption of the body's internal clock due to artificial light exposure increases the risk of developing fatty liver disease. Researchers are investigating how artificial light, particularly blue light, suppresses melatonin production, disrupting sleep and metabolism. This disruption can lead to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Studies are underway, including monitoring participants' biorhythms and using pig livers in controlled experiments, to understand the precise mechanisms linking light exposure to liver health.
