Dim blue light at night worsens high-fat diet-induced kidney damage via increasing corticosterone levels and modulating the expression of circadian clock genes by Wenji Ren, Zixu Wang, Yulan Dong, Jing Cao, Ting Gao, Qingyun Guo, Yaoxing Chen

“…We were surprised to find that dBL altered the expression of the circadian clock genes, resulting in a decrease in the positively regulated genes Bmal1, Clock, and an increase in the negatively regulated genes Per1, Per2, Per3. Mechanistically, dBL increased plasma CORT levels as well as decreased renal GR α expression, and in vitro experiments showed that the circadian clock genes were altered by the addition of CORT and returned to normal levels after the addition of the GR inhibitor RU486. …”
