Low Level Laser Therapy’s Effects on Body Chemistry Back in 1992, the positive body chemistry changes identified on the next pages, were supported by 105 references. Today there are many more studies and references to support low level laser therapy. Worldwide, the literature reports over 2,000 studies on low level lasers. • Acetylcholine • Acid phosphate activity • Action potential in nerves • Alkaline phosphates • Amino acids • Ascorbic acid uptake • ATP (cellular energy) synthesis and increased phosphorylation • Blood circulation, vasodilatation, and temperature increase • Calcium uptake • Cell growth • Collagen production • Cytoplasmic organelles • DNA and RNA synthesis • Electrochemical proton potential • Endoplasmic networks • Endorphin-like substances • Enzymes in the respiratory chain • Epithelialisation • Fibroblasts • Free radical control • Golgi apparatus • Granulation tissue (control of) • Growth-stimulating substances • Immune system enhancement • Lactase dehydrogenases • LHD activity • Leukocyte production • Lymphocyte production and control of oedema • Lysosome production • Membrane potential in mitochondria • Metabolism • Myofibroblasts • Mitogenic substances • Mitochondria and cytochrome (absorption in) • MSH • Neurotransmitters • Oxidative enzymes • Phosphorus uptake • Proliferation • Protection of cell membrane for hypotonic hemolysis • Stabilization of cell membrane • Systemic effects • Hydroxyproline uptake • Ultra-fast events in the cell • Ultra-structural micro-filament • Vascularization |
