Low-Level Laser Therapy Reduces Lung Inflammation in an Experimental Model of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Involving P2X7 Receptor

Figure 3

Treatment with LLL reduces proinflammatory cytokine secretion and increases the levels of IL-10 in the BALF of COPD animals. Quantification of IL-6 (a), IL-1β (b), IL-17 (c), TNF-α (d), KC (e), and IL-10 (f) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid supernatants. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. animals per group. in relation to the basal group; in relation to the COPD group.
