Effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in Pulmonary Inflammation in Asthma Induced by House Dust Mite (HDM): Dosimetry Study

Figure 1

Effect of LLLT on the total number of cells (a) and the number of macrophages (b), lymphocytes (c), neutrophils (d), and eosinophils (e) recovered from the BALF. The groups used in the experiment were Basal (unmanaged animals), asthmatics (HDM) (animals immunized and challenged with HDM), LLLT (animals only treated with LLLT), and HDM+LLLT (animals sensitized and challenged with HDM and subsequently treated with LLLT). The results refer to the use of 10 mice in each experimental group. Values expressed as mean and standard deviation. # p <0.001 when compared to Basal group; p <0.001, p <0.01, and p <0.05 when compared to the asthmatic group (HDM) and ns (not significant); p<0,05 and p<0,001 when compared HDM+LLLT (3J) group with the other groups treated with other doses.
