RETRACTED: Effects of low‐level laser therapy (LLLT) on the nuclear factor (NF)‐κB signaling pathway in traumatized muscle

Abstract

LLLT reduced the inflammatory response induced by trauma and was able to block the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) release and the activation of NF-kappaB. The associated reduction of iNOS overexpression and collagen production suggest that the NF-kappaB pathway may be a signaling route involved in the pathogenesis of muscle trauma.
