low-level laser therapy LLLT cytochrome c oxidase adenosine triphosphate ATP nitric oxide reactive oxygen species transcription factors signal transduction pathways mitochondrial activity

TLDR Low-level laser therapy can boost cell activity and energy production.

The review discusses the molecular and cellular effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), highlighting its impact on cellular respiration, cytochrome c oxidase activity, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. It notes that LLLT leads to the release of nitric oxide and an increase in reactive oxygen species, which may activate various transcription factors through different signal transduction pathways. The study emphasizes that cells with higher mitochondrial activity are more responsive to light therapy. The review covers the therapeutic effects of LLLT on both humans and animals, supporting its potential benefits in enhancing cell activity.
