Antioxidant effects of LEDT in dystrophic muscle cells: involvement of PGC-1α and UCP-3 pathways

What the authors concluded

The mdx muscle cells treated with LEDT showed a significant reduction of H2O2 production and 4-HNE, catalase, SOD-2, and GR levels. Upregulation of UCP3 was observed with all wavelengths while upregulation of PGC-1α and a slight upregulation of electron transport chain complexes III and V was only observed following 850 nm LEDT. In addition, the mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondr

Devices that emit this wavelength

Matched on wavelength within 15nm, since LED bins vary by roughly that much and a tighter match would be false precision. Where we have an irradiance figure, the session length is the time needed to reach this study's dose of 1.5 J/cm² at that intensity.

Matching a wavelength is not the same as reproducing a trial. Session times assume the device's published irradiance is accurate at the distance it was measured, which on brand-claim figures is often optimistic. Where a device publishes both a peak and an average we use the average, and where it publishes a falloff curve we use the lowest figure, so these times run long rather than short. Clinical protocols also control for spot size, contact and skin type in ways a home device cannot.
