Vitamin D ameliorates NETosis and Th17/Treg imbalance in experimental autoimmune thyroiditis Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been implicated in various autoimmune diseases; however, their role in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) remains…

NETs contribute to Th17 bias and MHC-II over-expression in HT, suggesting a role in shaping the adaptive immune response. Vitamin D restrains NETosis and restores T-cell homeostasis, highlighting its potential as an adjunctive therapy for HT.

Outdoor artificial #light at night is linked to a higher risk of type 2 #diabetes and disrupted glucose #metabolism. Obesity partly explains this link, accounting for 22–36% of the effect. Vulnerable groups include the elderly, men, smokers, and those with lower socioeconomic status.

#VitaminD supplementation effectively raises blood levels in #IBD patients. It may offer benefits - such as reducing disease activity, #inflammation, and improving quality of life - particularly in those with baseline deficiency. However, evidence is inconsistent, effects vary among patients.

Amazing data here - just 100lux of room light while staying up late seems to delay teens enough that 8000lx of morning bright light delays them further:

Family History and Solar Insolation in Bipolar I Disorder - PubMed This study highlighted the association between family history, solar insolation, and gender in international patients with bipolar I disorder.

People with bipolar disorder who live in places with very dark winters and very bright summers are more likely to have relatives also affected by mood disorders. This suggests that extreme differences in access to sunlight may 'trigger' the genetic predisposition to this illness within families.
