Effects of Low-level Laser Therapy on Global Gene Expression of Young Males Submitted to Physical Strength Training
February 3, 2013 updated by: Cleber Ferraresi, Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos
Muscle performance is largely influenced by modulations in gene expressions of muscle tissue.
In this context, low-level laser therapy has been used to improve muscle performance in experimental models and human researches.
Thereby, the investigators examined modulations on global gene expression of muscle tissue influenced by exercise associated to low-level laser therapy.
