RESUMO
Background: The current research extends previous laboratory investigations by investigating the effects of low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) on human blood plasma. Total bilirubin is of special importance because of its potential biostimulatory and modulatory actions. Objective: This study aims to analyze changes in total bilirubin content as a consequence of LLLI on human blood plasma. This study aims to determine how changes in exposure duration and laser wavelength affect these adjustments. Methodology: Plasma was isolated from a healthy adult donor's whole blood using the anticoagulant ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Plasma samples were exposed to LLLI at 375 and 650 nm for 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 min. Total bilirubin concentrations were measured both before and after irradiation using spectrophotometric analysis. The difference between 375 and 630 nm lasers was also investigated. Results: Five, 10, 15, 20, and 25 min of exposure to LLLI at 375 and 650 nm wavelengths resulted in statistically significant differences in total bilirubin content (p Ë 0.05, p Ë 0.001, p Ë 0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference in total bilirubin concentration between the 375 and 630 nm lasers. Conclusions: Human blood plasma total bilirubin levels were considerably lower following LLLI at 375 and 630 nm than controls. Multiple exposures provide the same results. These findings demonstrate the role of biostimulation by laser irradiation in blood plasma applications and suggest that low-level laser treatment may control total bilirubin levels, particularly at 375 and 630 nm.
