Zusammenfassung: | The biological effects of near infrared radiation (850 nm) modulated by an acoustic frequency of 101 Hz were studied. The study was conducted on rats; the effect was registered by succinate dehydrogenase activity in lymphocytes in blood smears after the administration of an activating dose of adrenaline, which simulates the state of the organism at early stages of a pathogenic action (stress). A pronounced regulating effect of infrared radiation on the activity of succinate dehydrogenase in animals that were activated by adrenaline was shown. Infrared radiation has a normalizing effect via the reduction of the degree of inhibition or activation of the enzyme induced by adrenaline and has no effect on the control animals. Thus, by modulation of the activity of succinate dehydrogenase, infrared radiation regulates energy production in mitochondria that is provided by the most potent oxidation substrate, viz., succinic acid; the effect is especially pronounced under stress. |
