Infrared photobiomodulation therapy improves glucose metabolism and intracellular insulin pathway in adipose tissue of high fat fed mice
- 8/29/2017
-
- Lasers Med Sci
Obesity represents a continuously growing global epidemic and is associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The etiology of type 2 diabetes is related to the resistance of insulin-sensitive tissues to its action leading to impaired blood glucose regulation. Photobiomodulation (PBM)...
Photobiomodulation reduces abdominal adipose tissue inflammatory infiltrate of diet-induced obese and hyperglycemic mice

- Postgraduate Program in Biophotonics Applied to Health Sciences, Nove de Julho University, Rua Vergueiro, 235, São Paulo, SP, 01504-001, Brazil.
From the very first reports describing the method of action of phototherapy, the effects have been considered to be the result of photochemical and photophysical interactions between the absorbed photons and tissue and not related to secondary changes in tissue or skin temperature. However, thermal ...

-
- Mediators of Inflammation Volume 2015 (2015), Article ID 630361, 9 pages http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/630361
Low-level-laser therapy (LLLT) is an effective complementary treatment, especially for anti-inflammation and wound healing in which dermis or mucus mast cells (MCs) are involved. In periphery, MCs crosstalk with neurons via purinergic signals and participate in various physiological and pathophysiol...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Low energy laser photostimulation at certain wavelengths can enhance tissue repair by releasing growth factors from fibroblasts and stimulate the healing process. This study was designed to evaluate the influence of laser photostimulation on collagen production in experimen...

Low Level Laser Therapy with Trigger Points Technique: A Clinical Study on 243 Patients
- 8/9/1996
-
- ZLATKO SIMUNOVIC. Journal of Clinical Laser Medicine & Surgery. AUGUST 1996, 14(4): 163-167. doi:10.1089/clm.1996.14.163.
Among the various methods of application techniques in low level laser therapy (LLLT) (HeNe 632.8 nm visible red or infrared 820–830 nm continuous wave and 904 nm pulsed emission) there are very promising "trigger points" (TPs), i.e., myofascial zones of particular sensibility and of highest p...

Low power laser therapy of shoulder tendonitis
- 12/11/1989
-
- Scand J Rheumatol. 1989;18(6):427-31.
30 patients with supraspinatus or bicipital tendonitis were randomly allocated to active infrared laser therapy at 904 nm three times weekly for 2 weeks, dummy laser or drug treatment for 2 weeks. Objectively maximum active extension, flexion and abduction of the shoulder, and subjectively pain stif...
Effect of low-level laser therapy irradiation and Bio-Oss graft material on the osteogenesis process in rabbit calvarium defects
- 8/13/0201
-
- Lasers in Medical Science August 2013
This study aims to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) irradiation and Bio-Oss graft material on the osteogenesis process in the rabbit calvarium defects. Twelve white male New Zealand rabbits were included in this study. Four 8-mm diameter identical defects were prepared on each rab...
Combination blue (415nm) and red (633nm) LED phototherapy in the treatment of mild to severe acne vulgaris
- 1/1/0001
-
- Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of New York/New Jersey, and Department of Dermatology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY 10022, USA.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Acne vulgaris represents both a challenge to the treating dermatologist and a major concern for the patient. Conventional treatments have proved inconsistent with often unacceptable side effects and high rates of recurrence. Non-thermal, non-laser, phototherapy for acne wit...
Effects of photobiomodulation therapy, pharmacological therapy, and physical exercise as single and/or combined treatment on the inflammatory response induced by experimental osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) triggers increased levels of inflammatory markers, including prostaglandin (PG) E2 and proinflammatory cytokines. The elevation of cytokine levels is closely associated with increased articular tissue degeneration. Thus, the use of combination therapies may presumably be able to ...

Histopathological Evaluation of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on Oral Mucosal Wound Healing in Rabbits Under Corticosteroid Therapy
- 1/1/0001
-
- Med. J. Cairo Univ., Vol. 80, No. 1, June: 375-384, 2012
Objective: This study assessed the effect of diode laser 808nm low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on oral mucous wound healing for immunosuppressed rabbits under corticosteroid therapy. Material and Methods: Twenty-four adult male New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to Immunosupression via dexameth...
Tenogenic induction of equine mesenchymal stem cells by means of growth factors and low-level laser technology
- 1/1/0001
-
- Veterinary Research Communications
Tendons regenerate poorly due to a dense extracellular matrix and low cellularity. Cellular therapies aim to improve tendon repair using mesenchymal stem cells and tenocytes; however, a current limitation is the low proliferative potential of tenocytes in cases of severe trauma. The purpose of this ...
