Lowers Blood Pressure
Efficiency of low-intensity laser radiation in essential hypertension
Velizhanina IA, Gapon LI, Shabalina MS, Kamalova NN
"This treatment significantly lowered systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure. Moreover, diastolic arterial pressure did not rise high at submaximal bicycle exercise. Total peripheral vascular resistance also decreased. A good hypotensive effect was achieved in 90.4% cases. Thus, LILR is a highly effective treatment in essential hypertension stage l.

In vitro effects of helium-neon laser irradiation on human blood: blood viscosity and deformability of erythrocytes.
Mi XQ, Chen JY, Liang ZJ, Zhou LW. - Department of Physics, State Key Laboratory of Applied Surface Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
"The blood viscosity of samples in hyper-values was lowered by laser irradiation ....... The deformability of erythrocytes from pathological samples and Ca(2+)-treated samples was improved after laser irradiation. CONCLUSIONS: The positive effects of laser irradiation on improving the rheological properties of blood were demonstrated in vitro". (full abstract)

“LBI led to the pronounced positive changes in electro-physiological characteristics of the cardiovascular system of the patients, it also led to the pronounced anti-arrhythmic effect.” (full abstract)
Influence of low-level laser radiation on kidney functionsKoultcavenia, Ekaterina V. - AA(Novosibirsk Research Institute of Tuberculosis)
“Is proved, that after a rate of laserotherapy the improving of a blood micricirculation in kidney occurs in 57.9% of patients; a secretion - in 63.1% of the patients; a stimulation of urodynamic is fixed in 79% of cases. Magnification of diuresis, improving filtration and concentration functions of kidneys also is marked.” (full abstract)

Lowers Blood Lipids
Laser correction of microcirculation disorders in patients having CHD with hypercholesterinemia
A P Vasil'ev , M A Sekisova , N N Strel'tsova , Iu N Senatorov
“After receiving a course of low-intensity infrared laser radiation treatment the patients displayed positive changes in blood lipid spectrum, which was associated with improvement in microcirculation, decrease in afterload, increase in economization of heart functioning and activity tolerance. The obtained results demonstrate that the hypolipidemic effect of laser radiation is a substantial factor in the regression of CHD manifestations." (full abstract)

Strengthens Immune System
Helium-neon and nitrogen laser irradiation accelerates the phagocytic activity of human monocytes.
Hemvani N, Chitnis DS, Bhagwanani NS. - Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Choithram Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, India.
"Enhanced killing of mycobacterial cells was seen among monocytes exposed to He-Ne and nitrogen laser irradiation. CONCLUSIONS: He-Ne and nitrogen laser irradiation activates the monocytes to increase intracellular killing of mycobacteria". (full abstract)
The biological effects of 632.8-nm low energy He-Ne laser on peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro.
Gulsoy M, Ozer GH, Bozkulak O, Tabakoglu HO, Aktas E, Deniz G, Ertan C. - Bogazici University, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Kuzey Kampus Bebek, 34342 Istanbul, Turkey.
"The aim of this study was to examine the proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells due to low energy 632.8-nm He-Ne laser application. The results of previous studies supported the hypothesis that low level laser therapy (LLLT) might have an increasing effect on the proliferation of lymphocytes and production of cytokines ..... Our results showed that He-Ne laser application enhanced the proliferation significantly". (full abstract)

General
Experimental study of low level laser radiation effects on human blood cells.
Siposan D, Adalbert L (Bucharest, Roumania)
“Following irradiation a lowering of the erythrocytary aggreagability (viscosity), BSR, and changes of some erythrocytary and leukocytary indices have been observed. The effect of low-level laser radiation on the red cell confirms the non-resonant mechanism of this bio-stimulating radiation effect by the changes in the cell membrane, in our case the blood cells, by revitalizing the red blood cell functional capacities and by several biochemical effects on the membrane level, that are to be studied thoroughly in future studies.” (full abstract)
