The effects of different light intensities during the daytime on the forearm blood flow and mean body temperature in the evening

Jpn J Physiol. 1996 Dec;46(6):481-4. doi: 10.2170/jjphysiol.46.481.

Abstract

The subjects were exposed to bright or dim light during the daytime. Compared to dim light exposure, bright light exposure induced a steeper slope in the regression line between the skin blood flow of the forearm and mean body temperature under an external heat load in the evening.
