“…Despite several carefully executed clinical studies, until now there has been no agree ment on phototherapy regimens for the treat ment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia [6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], Although the mechanism of light action on bilirubin has been partly clarified by the finding that the configurational photoisomer ization of bilirubin at the 5 and 15 carbon bridges constitutes the major mechanism of pigment photocatabolism in vivo [18]. there is no convincing evidence concerning the major site of light action.…”

In order to investigate the main sites of action of phototherapy in the treatment of neonatal jaundice we studied (a) the in vivo and in vitro relationship between the hematocrit and the effectiveness of phototherapy, and (b) the effect of varying the skin area exposed to light. The results show that the hematocrit does not influence in vivo the efficacy of phototherapy, while they confirm that the total skin surface exposed to light is important in determining the effectiveness of light treatment. The authors have also studied the possible action of phototherapy on bilirubin solutions placed into the postmortem brain or the stomach. The results suggest that blue light does not penetrate strongly enough to photomodify the exposed pigment.

“…Furthermore, coloured light is not only applied in alternative therapy but also in scientific medicine and research has been conducted on psychological and also therapeutic effects. Blue light (420 -470 nm) for example is used for the treatment of jaundice in new-borns [13,14] and Seasonal Affective Disorder in adults [15]. Iyilikci et al [16] showed an antidepressant effect for blue light by stimulation of the melanopsin-containing ganglion cells of the retina, which was not ascertainable with red light.…”

Abstract:The use of colour light therapy to treat diseases and disorders in animals is increasingly common but only very little research has been conducted on the effects of illumination with coloured light. The present study examined to which extent coloured light causes behavioural and physiological responses in horses. Red , green, blue and yellow as well as white as a control colour were tested in 20 healthy stallions of the breed Freiberger. Coloured light was applied on five consecutive days in randomised order for 15 min each in a LED light illuminated box stall. Behaviour was observed during illumination, salivary cortisol levels were measured immediately thereafter. Elimination, activity, heart rate and temperature parameters were recorded before, during and after illumination. Results showed that "Drinking" occurred more often at yellow and body core temperature was higher at red and blue and lower at green and yellow, whereas body surface temperature was tendentially increased at all colours compared to the control white. For the majority of parameters, however, no effects were found and discovered effects often did not correspond to expectations deriving from principles of colour light therapy. A general effect of illumination, regardless of the colour, was further demonstrated for activity, heart rate and heart rate variability and absolute values of physiological and behavioural parameters indicated that the illumination with coloured light did not constitute a stressor but rather had a becalming effect on horses.
