title: Low-power light and isolated rat hearts after ischemia of myocardium.
abstract: We studied the influence of low-intensity red light on restoration of isolated heart contractility, on lipid peroxidation processes and a state of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in myocardial tissues of isolated hearts. It was found that after ischemia modeled and perfusion restored the light illumination results in acceleration of myocardial contractility recovery, rising of the SOD activity and reduction in the amount of molecular products of lipid peroxidation.
