Constant light exposure and/or pinealectomy increases susceptibility to trichloroethylene-induced hepatotoxicity and liver cancer in male mice

Mohamed E. Abdraboh et al.

Summary: Exposure to light at night, pineal gland impairment, and TCE pollution have a significant impact on health, including increased susceptibility to liver toxicity and cancer. Low melatonin levels, constant light exposure, and the combination of these factors increase the toxic and carcinogenic effects of TCE on the liver.
