Abstract:Low‐level light therapy has been used in health care as a therapeutic strategy for different diseases. However, its effects on cancer are controversial. This work evaluated the effects of three energies on breast cancer‐bearing mice after a single red light‐emitting diode (LED) irradiation. 4T1 cells were inoculated into the mammary fat pad of female BALB/c mice. When tumor volume reached 100 mm3, animals were irradiated by a LED irradiator (660 ± 11 nm) with energies of 1.2, 3.6, and 6.0 J. Control without ir… Show more
“…A trained and blinded veterinarian assigned scores for health status for each animal such as hypokinesia (0 = normal activity; 1 = reduced activity; 5 = inactive), piloerection (0 = no; 1 = yes), and hunching (0 = no; 1 = yes) ranging from 0 to 7. Higher scores indicate pain and distress, while lower scores denote better health status ( 23 , 25 ). The sum of the scores was computed for each experimental day.…”
