The Impact of Red Light on Endogenous Antioxidant Production
Research suggests red light exposure directly influences the production of non-penial melatonin at the cellular level, enhancing the generation of endogenous antioxidants like glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase. Maintaining redox balance and preventing oxidative stress crucially depends on supporting and optimizing endogenous antioxidant production, instead of relying solely on supplemental antioxidants. Melatonin is predicted to play a significant role in preventing oxidative damage at the cellular level, marking a shift in the understanding of aging and disease prevention.
