Article Abstract
Background: In this article the methods for determining spectral transmittance of optical radiation in the visible waveband range through selected materials used as optical filters against solar glare were described.
Material And Methods: Transmittance coefficients specified for the fraction of light passing through tested filters, taking into account the mechanism of eye adaptation to daylight and night vision and the melatonin suppression process were compared for 4 dyed sunglass filters.
Results: The values of transmittance coefficients specified for wavelength bands, 380-780 nm (for visible range) and 425-560 nm (for blue light range affecting the melatonin suppression process) were determined.
Conclusions: The use of sunglasses with different color filters modifies the spectral characteristics of transmittance (spectrum) of visible light reaching the eye (including blue radiation) in such a way that it may have a potential impact on the melatonin suppression process.

In cardiovascular research, melatonin has shown promise in exhibiting antifibrotic properties and modulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. However, the exact mechanism by which it influences myocardial fibrosis has not been fully clarified. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of melatonin on the progression of myocardial fibrosis through a mechanism involving the BIP/PERK/CHOP signaling pathway, both in silico and in vivo experimental models.

Light serves as the main synchroniser of the circadian system. The amount of light and its spectral distribution throughout the day influence hormonal secretion and sleep-wake regulation. There is a knowledge gap regarding the impact of the spectrum and intensity reduction of short-wavelength light during the day on circadian system outputs.

Melatonin, a multifunctional signalling molecule in plants, has been increasingly recognized for its role in improving stress tolerance, regulating hormone signalling, and enhancing crop productivity. Exogenous melatonin application represents a promising strategy to enhance crop productivity under global agricultural challenges. This study aimed to investigate the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which melatonin improves yield in Brassica napus.

Objectives: Shift work disrupts hormonal rhythms, but evidence linking specific shift patterns to cortisol/melatonin variations remains limited. This study evaluated the associations of a rapid-rotating shift pattern (ie, PAN pattern, shift transitions from afternoon to morning to night shifts within approximately 40 hours) and irregular non-PAN pattern shifts with urinary cortisol and melatonin among Hong Kong nurses, while also assessing the role of sleep on rhythmic hormones.
Methods: A 7-day actigraphy-based study recruited 201 shift nurses and 100 daytime workers.

Medical approaches to reproduction control have traditionally relied on progestins, but these drugs are associated with significant adverse effects in both males and females, including an increased risk of uterine infections, mammary tumours, and metabolic complications. As a result, veterinarians often advocate for strategies such as postponing estrus in females to balance reproductive health and manage population control. In recent decades, advancements in pharmacological interventions have opened new doors.
