Dim Light at Night Changes Puberty Timing and Reproductive Measures in Male and Female Rats

Dim light at night (dLAN) may alter pubertal timing and reproductive parameters in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats.

• The impact of dLAN on the timing of puberty was examined in both male and female rats.
• Changes in reproductive parameters were observed in response to exposure to dLAN.
• Findings suggest that light exposure during the night could influence developmental processes in rodents.
