Low level laser therapy reduces acute lung inflammation without impairing lung function.
MouseEndotoxin/LPSC57BL/6Transcutaneous irradiationRadiant exposure 10 J/cm2 at 660 nm6 hours after intratracheal instillation
Model: Intratracheal lipopolysaccharide (5 mg/kg) induced acute lung injury
Low level laser therapy significantly decreased inflammatory cell influx and inflammatory mediator secretion after intratracheal LPS, with no change in tissue resistance or elastance, indicating reduced inflammation without impairment of lung mechanical properties.
