Summary
The paper discusses the role of suprachiasmatic VIP neurons in regulating fertility in mice by mediating the response to late afternoon light, and how disruptions in light-dark cycles can impact fertility.
Categories
Reproductive health: The paper discusses the role of suprachiasmatic VIP neurons in regulating fertility in mice, and how disruptions in light-dark cycles can impact fertility.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how the activity of suprachiasmatic VIP neurons, which are influenced by light exposure, can impact the regulation of hormones related to fertility.
Shift work: The paper discusses how disruptions in light-dark cycles, such as those experienced by shift workers, can impact the regularity of the estrous cycle and decrease fertility in mice.
Jet lag: The paper discusses how disruptions in light-dark cycles, such as those experienced during jet lag, can impact the regularity of the estrous cycle and decrease fertility in mice.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how the timing and duration of light exposure can impact the activity of suprachiasmatic VIP neurons and, consequently, fertility.
