Exposure of mouse retinas to LED light causes a reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential and impairs mitochondrial respiration.

"The light found in LEDs when we use them, certainly when we use them on the retina looking at mice, we can watch the mitochondria gently go downhill. Their membrane potentials are coming down. The mitochondria are not breathing very well." (said at 0:12:08)

No published record matching the claim that exposure of mouse retinas to LED light causes a reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential and impairs mitochondrial respiration was located; this does not prove the claim false.

Unverified means no publication matching the claim was located; it does not prove the claim false. Spotted an error? See the corrections policy - disputes from the people quoted are prioritized.
