An amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Amylase is found in saliva and breaks starch into maltose and dextrin.
Cortisol is the most important one in humans, are steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex and participate in the body’s homeostasis and stress responses.
The glucocorticoid levels synthesized by the adrenal gland across the 24-hour day appear to be under the control of two distinct systems, one governed by the hypothalamic pituitary- adrenal (HPA) axis [5] and one controlled by the autonomic nervous system through the adrenal medulla [11, 12]. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) release by the pituitary gland
From the present study, the photic inputs to the pineal and to the adrenal glands are clearly different; synthesis of melatonin by the pineal gland is only affected by short-wavelength light whereas cortisol production by the adrenal gland is modulated by both short- and long wavelength light. It would seem too that the sympathetic system response, as measured in terms of alpha amylase concentration, also has a spectral sensitivity to light broader than that leading to the pineal gland response.
The biochemical details of how near-infrared radiation interacts with the human body are fascinating, with the primary chromophores haemoglobin and melanin absorbing the photons and then undergoing radiation less de-excitation and other photochemical processes. Further, the irradiance levels are considerably higher than what we would experience outdoors on a clear day, and much higher than we would experience indoors, even with incandescent light sources. Given this, it is generally inappropriate to consider LILT (For Medacsis its with LILT thru LILD*) studies as evidence that near-infrared radiation is essential to our health and well-being.
Since humans are evolved with the presence of sunlight, given that more than 40 percent (approx.) of the energy and operating powers for the cells is due to IR & near-infrared radiation, we are clearly imperiling our health, state of mind and wellness by using LED lighting that emits no near-infrared radiation or in the recent past fluorescents didn’t have. Yes it’s a fact however, there are means to induce light oriented thermo dynamic parameters with the current technology [though not to be compared to the scale of sunlight, Theralicht™-Light is the governor of the universe©]
