OBJECTIVE The effects of low-level laser light irradiation are still highly contested, and the mechanisms of its action still unclear. This study was conducted to test the effects of low-level laser irradiation at 660 nm on human lymphocytes and to investigate the possible mechanisms by which these effects are produced. METHODS Whole blood obtained by phlebotomy was irradiated at 660 nm by using energy fluences between 0 and 5.0 J/cm(2). The lymphocytes were isolated after irradiation of the whole blood. For the control experiment, the lymphocytes were first isolated and then irradiated at the same wavelength and energy fluence for comparison. The proliferation of lymphocytes and the formation of free radicals and lipid peroxides were monitored. Hemoglobin was also irradiated in a cell-free environment to test for the production of lipid peroxides. RESULTS Lymphocyte proliferation was significantly higher (P<0.05) as expressed by a Stimulation Index in samples irradiated in the presence of whole blood compared with lymphocytes irradiated after isolation from whole blood. Free radical and lipid peroxide production also increased significantly when samples were irradiated in the presence of red blood cells. CONCLUSIONS The present study supports the hypothesis that one mechanism for the photobiostimulation effect after irradiation at 660 nm is the reaction of light with hemoglobin, resulting in oxygen radical production.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008054 Lipid Peroxides Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
