The effect of low-level laser therapy on oxidative stress and functional fitness in aged rats subjected to swimming: an aerobic exercise

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to determine whether low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in conjunction with aerobic training interferes with oxidative stress, thereby influencing the performance of old rats participating in swimming. Thirty Wistar rats (Norvegicus albinus) (24 aged and six young) were tested. The older animals were randomly divided into aged-control, aged-exercise, aged-LLLT, aged-LLLT/exercise, and young-control. Aerobic capacity (VO2max(0.75)) was analyzed before and after the training period. … Show more

“…The antioxidant system includes a number of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), nonenzymatic antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH) and dietary antioxidants. As reported previously, aged rats suffered from decreased antioxidant capacity, as compared with young rats [9]. As antioxidants play a crucial role against ROS, an impaired antioxidant system aggravates the process of aging and may become another “vicious cycle”.…”

“…In the present study, we investigated the structure and the activity of glycated catalase exposed to laser irradiation. Laser irradiation such as LLLI is a convenient and attractive candidate for complement therapy, in order to reduce oxidative stress and to modify the activity of enzyme 39,40 even in diabetes condition. 24,27 In one study, the influence of low-level GaAlAs laser irradiation at 904 nm for different doses on amylase activity was investigated experimentally.…”

“…The oxidative stress has been reported to be involved in several diseases such as diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative disorders (Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and multiple sclerosis (MS)), cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis and hypertension), respiratory diseases (asthma), cataract development, and rheumatoid arthritis [ 4 ]. Many studies showed an increase ROS and oxidative damage markers in blood and tissues of humans and animals during and after muscle damage [ 1 , 2 , 5 , 6 ]. After muscle injury, oxidative stress could be increased due to a number of potential sites for the ROS generation within the traumatized muscle.…”

“…There are studies showing that PBMT can improve mitochondrial function and mitigate ROS as well as reactive nitrogen species (RNS) generated during exercise training [ 12 ]. Thus, PBMT has been reported to modulate oxidative events, reducing oxidative stress in different situations [ 5 , 13 15 ]. We performed this systematic review to identify animal research defining the effects of PBMT on experimental models of muscle injury and the impact of PBMT dosage.…”
