About
Iris melanocytes are innervated by parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve endings. Light affects autonomic nervous system activity via the retino-hypothalamic pathway. The hypothesis that the day-to-night variations in the sympatovagal ratio (LF/HF) may differ among individuals with different brown iris patterns was tested.
Full description
A total of 621 healthy adults, aged between 16 and 50, with brown eyes and not diagnosed with a disease that might affect the autonomous nerve system were included in the study. A digital camera was used to acquire iris photos. Subjects were grouped into iris color groups (2-0 bg, 1-0 bg, 1-1 db, 1-1 lb, 2-0 b, and 1-0 b). Iris photos were analyzed with Picture Color Analyzer RBG software. The Central/Peripheral (R/RGB) ratio was used for objective distinction between the groups. Using 24-h Holter ECG monitoring, the change in the sympathovagal ratio from day (between 07:00 and 23:00 hrs) to night (between 23:00 and 07:00 hrs) was determined with the formula [(Day - Night) LF/HF)/Day LF/HF].
