Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied anti-inflammatory effect of a phototherapy in LPS-induced septic model.We found that specific intensity and wavelength phototherapy decreased poduction of proinflammatory cytokines.This results have indicated that a phototherapy have another mechanism for anti-inflammatory effect.
