670nm Photobiomodulation Modulates Bioenergetics And Oxidative Stress, Decreasing Inflammatory Mediator Production In An In Vitro Model Of Diabetic Retinopathy
Abstract:Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the most common complication of diabetes mellitus, is associated with oxidative stress, nuclear factor-kB (NFkB) activation, and excess production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Current therapies are invasive, frequently ineffective, and have adverse effects. The application of far-red to near-infrared (NIR) light (630-1000nm) reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in vitro and in vivo. Thus, we hypothesize that 670nm l… Show more
