Abstract

Exposure of biological tissue to photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) seems to increase the oxygen availability and mitochondrial electrochemical activity. With the advancement of new technologies, such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), information can be obtained about the balance between oxygen utilization and delivery by assessing local oxy- ({[}O(2)Hb]) and deoxy-myohemoglobin ({[}HHb]) concentrations, both measured in micromolars (mu M). Consequently, NIRS can be used to study ({''}in vivo{''}) PBMT effects on the oxidative system, including oxygen availability. Thus, the main objective of the present study was to use NIRS to investigate the acute effects of PBMT by light-emitting diode (LED) on the oxygen delivery and utilization in humans. Twelve healthy young participants were treated with a LED device (850 nm, 50 mW, 2 J) and placebo applied over the proximal third of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle of the left or right forearm selected in a random order. The LED was applied in direct contact with skin and the device was switched on for 40 s in 4 different interventions (I-1, I-2, I-3 and I-4) with a 3-min interval between interventions. The placebo condition was considered as the period before the first PBMT. The NIRS device was used to evaluate the relative changes in {[}O(2)Hb] and {[}HHb] before and after placebo and interventions. We found that PBMT statistically increased the {[}O(2)Hb] in 0.39 mu M. These results demonstrate the potential of PBMT to increase oxygen availability. (AU)
