Therapeutic effect of near infrared NIR light on Parkinson s disease models
2012-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects large numbers of people, particularly those of a more advanced age. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in PD, especially in the electron transport chain.
