LLLT

Góralczyk, Krzysztof, et al. "Low-level laser irradiation effect on endothelial cells under conditions of hyperglycemia." Lasers in medical science 31.5 (2016): 825-831. Diabetes mellitus is considered to be a very serious lifestyle disease leading to cardiovascular complications and impaired wound healing observed in the diabetic foot syndrome. Chronic hyperglycemia is the source of the endothelial activation. The LLLT—low-level laser therapy effectively supports the conventional treatment of diabetic vascular complications such as diabetic foot syndrome. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of low-power laser irradiation at two wavelengths on the secretion of inflammatory factors—under conditions of hyperglycemia. It leads to the reduction of TNF-α concentration in the supernatant and enhancement of cell proliferation. Endothelial cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes; however, a small number of studies evaluate an impact of LLLT...
