Not just mice, clinically. Also, higher incidence of anti-thyroid antibodies in traumatized women.

Exposure to light at night alters outcome to stroke

Didn’t some of us suspect that frequent sleep disruption and lights on at odd hours couldn’t be all that conducive to healing (not limited to post-stroke/CNS, also post-surgical wound healing etc.)?

Exposure to dim light at night, a common occurrence in hospital rooms, increases short-term mortality and compromises recovery from cerebral ischemia.

Role of salt in anxiety, learning-memory and hypertension in an aging model of rat

Brilliant. So far only a pilot study in rats, so fast food and other restaurants have nothing to worry about as of yet.

Results:
day and nighttime blood pressure was increased on high salt diet
salt intake increased anxiety-type behavior in FBN rats
salt intake increased cognitive impairment in FBN rats
