Effect of low-level laser therapy on skin fibroblasts of streptozotocin-diabetic rats.

Objective: This study explored the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on cellular changes in cell culture and organ culture of skin from streptozotocin-diabetic (STZ-D) rats.

Background Data: Growth of skin and its fibroblasts are impaired in diabetes. Therefore the healing of skin wounds is impaired in diabetic patients.
