Diagram that illustrates the mechanism of low-level light therapy (LLLT) on the cellular and molecular level. Near infrared light, absorbed by the mitochondria, causes upregulation of the cellular respiratory chain. A host of downstream cellular responses involving nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate ensues, which ultimately dictates LLLT effects.
