Effect of Photo Biomodulation on Muscle Repair: a Literature Review (original) (raw)

Journal of Health Sciences, 2021

Abstract

Muscle injuries are frequent, both in the practice of exercises and in the work environment, and after the injury, healing begins. The inflammatory phase of muscle healing is accompanied by an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and a reduction in the antioxidant activity of defense enzymes. This imbalance between both can generate oxidative stress, which can cause oxidative damage by directly affecting vital cellular constituents, such as lipids, proteins and DNA, in addition to interfering negatively in the muscle cells differentiation . Therefore, substances or therapies that stimulate antioxidant repair and defense are crucial to keep the levels of free radical production low, and to minimize factors that delay or prevent tissue recovery, among these therapies photo biomodulation has stood out. The objective of this literature review is to clarify the FBM effect on oxidative stress and muscle repair. Therefore, a search was carried out in the databases o...
