Photobiomodulation and Oxidative Stress: 980 nm Diode Laser Light Regulates Mitochondrial Activity and Reactive Oxygen Species Production

Figure 2

Effects of the 980 nm laser on mitochondrial OxPhos activity: (a) ATP synthase activity; (b) oxygen consumption rate; (c) P/O ratio, as a marker of the mitochondrial energy efficiency. Each panel is representative of three independent experiments, and data are expressed as . , , and indicate a significant difference for , 0.001, and 0.0001, respectively, between the nontreated sample (0 W) and the samples irradiated with different powers (0.1, 0.5, 0.8 W) for 60 seconds; spot size 0.78 cm².
