Evaluation of mitochondrial respiratory chain activity in muscle healing by low-level laser therapy.
BACKGROUND Recent studies demonstrate that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) modulates many biochemical processes, especially the decrease of muscle injures, the increase in mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis for accelerating the healing process. OBJECTIVE In this work, we evaluated mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I, II, III and IV and succinate dehydrogenase activities after ...
متن کاملMechanisms of Low Level Light Therapy
The use of low levels of visible or near infrared light for reducing pain, inflammation and edema, promoting healing of wounds, deeper tissues and nerves, and preventing tissue damage has been known for almost forty years since the invention of lasers. Originally thought to be a peculiar property of laser light (soft or cold lasers), the subject has now broadened to include photobiomodulation a...
متن کاملLow-level light/laser therapy versus photobiomodulation therapy.
As Juliet states: ‘‘What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.’’ However, a name, if ill-conceived and lacking a clear definition, can have profound effects on the image and acceptance of a therapy by mainstream medicine. Sunlight has much anecdotal use in ancient scriptures. In the late eighteenth century, Niels Ryberg Finsen pioneered the use of red an...
متن کاملEffect of low-level laser therapy on the modulation of the mitochondrial activity of macrophages
BACKGROUND Macrophages play a major role among the inflammatory cells that invade muscle tissue following an injury. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has long been used in clinical practice to accelerate the muscle repair process. However, little is known regarding its effect on macrophages. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of LLLT on the mitochondrial activity (MA) of macrophages. M...
