Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this exploratory n-of-1-study is to compare markers of metabolism in infants with intestinal failure between two lighting environments. Investigators are seeking to learn whether supplementing the lighting environment of infants with intestinal failure with blue and violet wavelengths of light will allow more efficient utilization of the nutrition provided to participants by influencing hormones involved in regulation of growth and development as compared to a conventional lighting environment.

Pre-clinical studies suggest that violet and blue wavelengths of light are involved in molecular pathways that help regulate metabolic activity.
