Schematic depiction of the cellular signaling pathways triggered by LLLI. After photons may be absorbed by chromophores in the cell membrane, mitochondria cytochrome C oxidase, MMP, ATP, and cAMP may be increased, but signaling pathways such as PKA/IGF-1 may be also increased, contributing to increased NAMPT/SIRT1 pathway and inhibited expression of .
