What the authors concluded
MP-3 levels remained close to normal in all experimental groups (p > 0.05); however, reductions (p < 0.05) in MMP-1 and MMP-13 levels were detected in the groups submitted to one, three, and seven low level laser therapy applications." "The photobiomodulation protocol was able to reduce MMP-1 and MMP-13 levels in injured calcaneal tendons.
