The Impact of Light on Biology and Mitochondrial Function
This chapter explores the intricate relationship between light and biology, focusing on the role of non-visual photoreceptors in biological processes and the effects of UV, infrared, and blue light on the body. It delves into how light influences processes like DNA damage, melatonin production, and timing mechanisms. Additionally, the chapter discusses the evolutionary aspects of melanopsin receptors, mitochondrial genetics, and the concept of 'skin type latitude mismatch' in relation to health disparities.
