The effectiveness of indirect Intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) is not fully understood. In this study, we provided a novel experiment that employs metabolomics to investigate the effects of ILIB in women. Twenty-eight volunteers underwent indirect ILIB and had their plasma collected before and after this procedure.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the connection between plasma metabolomic profiles and biopsychosocial factors in overweight/obese women with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a condition that often coexists with obesity and muscle weakness.
  • Involving 28 participants, the research assesses functional tests and various questionnaires to gather data on their biopsychosocial responses over two lab visits.
  • The findings reveal 13 metabolic differences between control and KOA groups, with specific molecules showing correlations with pain and functional outcomes in KOA, suggesting the need for further research to fully understand these relationships.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 808 nm laser applied after a resistance training protocol, on biochemical markers and the morphology of skeletal muscle in rats.

Background Data: Strenuous physical activity results in fatigue and decreased muscle strength, impaired motor control, and muscle pain. Many biochemical and biophysical interventions have been studied in an attempt to accelerate the recovery process of muscle fatigue.
