Episode notes
Core Mechanisms of Photobiomodulation
- Photobiomodulation's core mechanisms include cytochrome C oxidase interaction, a mitochondrial enzyme.
- This interaction enhances energy production, but other mechanisms contribute to diverse therapeutic effects.
TGF Beta 1 and Wound Healing
- Dr. Arany's research revealed TGF beta 1, a growth factor crucial for wound healing, as another key mechanism.
- A single amino acid in TGF beta 1 senses light, activating the growth factor and promoting healing.
Sunlight vs. Photobiomodulation
- Vitamin D synthesis differs from photobiomodulation; UV light alters pre-vitamin D's chemical structure.
- Sunlight's broad spectrum may interfere with targeted photobiomodulation, making specific wavelengths more effective.
