Abstract

Intravenous laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) by helium-neon laser (HNL) with &lgr;=632.8 nm, 2.5-4.5 mW at the light guide outlet was employed to investigate ILIB influence on blood oxygen transport (BOT), hydro-ion balance for normal rabbits and after modeling of local ischemia of brain (LIB). Marked improvement of disturbances typical for ischemia was revealed for both hydro-ion balance characteristics and BOT parameters such as oxygen tension (p_vO₂), oxygen hemoglobin saturation (s_vO₂), p_vO₂ of blood under its 50% saturation by O₂ (p50) and tendency was found to their normalization. To identify the molecular photoacceptors and the mechanisms of primary photoreactions the spectral data were used both in visible and infrared regions. On the basis of spectral analysis hemoglobin was discussed as a possible photoacceptor when blood is irradiated with HNL radiation. Variations in the redox properties of respiratory chain components were considered as primary mechanisms of light action on photoacceptor molecules that initiated a cascade of secondary reactions controlling cellular homeostasis parameters.
