ABSTRACT
Part of the unidirectional
light waves (background polarization) due to the passage through the layer of
fullerene molecules, acquires the properties of an ordered concentrated
nano-photonic flow, called hyperpolarized. The aim was to
investigate the effect of prolonged illumination of an animal with natural
daylight passing through a fullerene filter, on behavior, physiological health
indices and life expectancy. A long 8-month experiment was conducted on 12 male
mice at the age of 1 year. Half of them were constantly under “fullerene” light (experimental
group), the rest—under natural light (control). The spectrum of light
passing through the fullerene filter was characterized by
a weakened short-wavelength range and power density. Weekly we determined the
body weight, recorded motor activity (open field test), dynamics of natural
behavioral reactions (sleeping, eating, running, washing). It was found that after 9 weeks of observation the
body weight in the control group animals began to decrease gradually (one of
the signs of aging). At the same time, the average body weight in the animals
of the experimental group remained at the same level or even increased. The
maximum difference between the two groups occurred 32 weeks after the start of
the experiment. The body weight of animals receiving fullerene light was 38.25
g (20.5% increase) in this period, while in the control group it fell down to
27.42 g (a decrease of 13.8%). The test “open field” showed that as the natural aging of animals continues
their motor activity decreases. However, in the control group, this process is
faster than in animals under the “fullerene” light. After 8 weeks
of observation, the mobility of animals in the experimental group was
significantly higher than in the control group. It is proved that the “fullerene” light preserves the
natural behavior of animals (sleeping, eating behavior, etc.). The animals of
the experimental group lived for a total of 1,032 days, and the
control animals—1,036 days. Nevertheless, the quality of life of the “fullerene” animals was the
best. This was evidenced by better dynamics of body weight, greater motor
activity, and absence of negative behavioral changes. Thus, it was shown
for the first time that for a long time up to 8 months illumination of the
animal’s body with light transmitted through a Nano photonic
fullerene filter does not adversely affect physical and functional indices and
some of them even improve. Development of some signs of aging is slowing down:
weight loss and decreased mobility, although there is no reliable difference in
life expectancy between experimental and control animals. The obtained results create the prospect of using
fullerene filters for improving ergonomics of the dwelling (fullerene window),
everyday use (fullerene glasses), medical purposes (light therapy devices with
fullerene filters), for plants (fullerene greenhouses), etc.
