Photobiomodulation Leads to Reduced Oxidative Stress in Rats Submitted to High-Intensity Resistive Exercise

Figure 4

Protein expression of (a) superoxide dismutase (SOD), (b) catalase (CAT), and (c) 70 kilo Dalton heat shock protein (HSP70) in gastrocnemius muscle in control rats (Ctr), rats that only underwent a resistance exercise session (RE), and rats that were subjected to 4J LLLT irradiations prior to a resistance exercise session (4J). Data are representative of samples collected instantly and 24 h after exercise. Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Dunn’s tests were used for multiple comparisons. Number of animals for each experiment is shown inside the bars.
