Diabetes mellitus, a chronic disease in which endocrine hormone abnormalities cause excessive blood glucose concentrations, triggering multi-organ damage.
The number of adults aged 20-79 years with diabetes globally in 2021 is a whopping 537 million, ou 7 out of 100 people with diabetes. Avoiding food, measuring blood glucose and taking insulin every day brings countless life troubles and psychological anxiety to the majority of patients and their families.
Heureusement, “Science and Technology Daily” recently a heavy news, to the majority of “sugar friends” to bring good: City College London, the University of London and the University College London scientists to work together to carry out the latest research shows that 670 irradiation de lumière rouge nanométrique dans le dos d’une personne pendant 15 minutes, peut réduire le taux de sucre dans le sang!
L'irradiation par la lumière rouge réduit les ravages causés par la glycémie
Le diabète en lui-même n’est pas effrayant, ce sont les complications qui font peur, et le DCCT (Essai sur le contrôle et les complications du diabète) et des études européennes confirment depuis longtemps que le contrôle de la glycémie peut effectivement ralentir le développement de complications dans les deux types 1 et tapez 2 diabète.
L'approche habituelle pour contrôler la glycémie consiste à intervenir sur le mode de vie avec l'administration orale d'un certain type de médicament hypoglycémiant.. Cependant, à mesure que la maladie progresse, il deviendra de plus en plus difficile de faire baisser la glycémie, et plusieurs agents hypoglycémiants, même l'insuline, sera progressivement nécessaire pour contrôler la glycémie. Ces traitements médicamenteux invasifs peuvent entraîner des effets secondaires inattendus chez les patients. Et comme méthode non invasive, technique non pharmacologique reconnue pour sa sécurité, la physiothérapie à la lumière rouge a le potentiel de minimiser les effets secondaires et d'apporter plus de bénéfices aux diabétiques.
Comme il s'avère, les mitochondries sont connues comme les « usines énergétiques » cellulaires, qui utilisent l'oxygène et le glucose pour produire de l'adénosine triphosphate (ATP), qui fournit de l'énergie pour les processus cellulaires importants du corps. Quand 670 nm la lumière rouge stimule les mitochondries, le potentiel de membrane mitochondriale et la production d’adénosine triphosphate (ATP) peut être augmenté par photobiomodulation (PBM), un processus qui augmente la demande et la consommation de glucose, abaissant ainsi la glycémie.
Des expériences ont montré que cette stimulation par la lumière rouge réduisait la glycémie de 27.7% après l'ingestion de glucose et réduction des pics maximaux de glucose de 7.5%. Selon le Dr. Bonner, the lead author of the study, says we can use a single 15-minute exposure to red light after eating to help reduce potentially damaging glucose spikes in the body after a meal.
This latest study, published in the German Journal of Biophotonics, a leading international scientific journal, suggests that Although this study was conducted in healthy individuals, its non-invasive, non-pharmacological technique has the potential to positively impact postprandial diabetes control by reducing the damaging fluctuations in blood sugar in the body that lead to aging.
Dr. Bonner, Senior Lecturer in Neurobiology at the School of Health and Psychological Sciences at City, and Professor Geoffrey, Professor of Neuroscience at the Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, also said that this improvement in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from nucleosides leads to changes in signaling that propagate throughout the body.
Red light is widely used in recreational therapy
Photobiomodulation (PBM) of red light is primarily photochemical, not thermal. The effect achieved by red light irradiation is mainly through the transfer of red light energy into cells to stimulate new cellular vitality.
Earlier authoritative studies have confirmed that long-wavelength light between about 650-900 nm (from the visible to near-infrared range) increases mitochondrial ATP production, which lowers blood glucose and improves animal health and longevity. In previous studies, 670 nm light selectively irradiated to the backs of mice has been shown to improve ATP, and thus symptoms, in both a Parkinson’s disease model and a diabetic retinopathy model.
The maximum absorption of red light is mitochondria, red light irradiation increases the activity of catalase in mitochondria, which can increase the cellular metabolism, increase the content of glycogen (not only stores energy, but also breaks down into glucose to regulate the concentration of blood glucose), increase the synthesis of proteins and increase the decomposition of adenosine triphosphate to promote cell synthesis, healing of wounds and ulcers, hair growth and bone fracture healing, accelerate the regeneration of damaged nerves, increase White blood cell phagocytosis, remove free radicals in the body, so that the blood viscosity decreases and oxygen-carrying capacity significantly higher, regulate immune function, improve fat accumulation, delay skin aging, so red light in the clinic can treat a variety of diseases.
As a non-invasive, non-drug technology, red light physiotherapy is harmless and is used by many large tertiary hospitals to relieve patients’ douleur.
Merican Light Energy Research Center and a number of universities, medical research institutions through a number of clinical verification has also proved that through a kind of red light irradiation called photodynamic health cabin, can penetrate 1-4cm under the skin, on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and other circulatory system disease improvement, tissue and nerve pain repair, postpartum rehabilitation, as well as physical restoration and cosmetic surgery and so on, there are obvious effects. Together with the use of LED cold light source, light-emitting diode way for the light source, low heat generation, no thermal radiation, even if beyond the treatment time, will not produce thermal damage to the human body, and does not contain any radioactive substances.
