Ga-As (808 nm) Laser Irradiation Enhances ATP Production in Human Neuronal Cells in Culture

Abstract

Laser application to NHNP cells significantly increases ATP production in these cells. These findings may explain the beneficial effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in stroked rats. Tissue culture of NHNP cells might offer a good model to study the mechanisms associated with promotion of ATP production in the nervous system by LLLT.
