Abstract— Heterozygote and homozygote Gunn rat blood plasma, as well as human blood plasma, was exposed for 24 h to broad‐spectrum fluorescent light (Dura‐Test Vita‐Lite). The result of this exposure was the reduction of half‐cystine concentrations in all exposed samples when compared to unexposed controls. The data suggests that the effect observed was not the result of direct photic energy absorption by cystine but was the result of a photic intermediate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
