Gene expression data from retina of Babl/c mouse under white LED light exposure

The widely used white light-emitting diodes (LED) deliver higher levels of blue light than do conventional domestic light sources. The high intensity of blue component is the main source of concern about the health risks of LED with respect to their light-toxicity to the retina. White LED light with higher correlated color temperature (CCT) is more likely to cause retinal injury in mice, significantly reducing the number of ONL nuclei, however apoptosis pathway may not be the only mechanism.
