Abstract

The concept of inflammation reports to a complex response triggered by several endogenous and exogenous stimuli and capable of inducing cellular aggression to connective tissue. This response is frequently associated with physiological events involving cells and proteins that ultimately will abrogate the aggression and lead to tissue healing. Macrophages have a key role in the inflammatory process, related to a large number of biologically active substances released by these cells. Chromotherapy is a treatment modality that utilizes the visible light and its ability to penetrate the tissues to promote therapeutic actions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the application of polarized red, green, and blue light on activated macrophage function. Irradiation with red was associated with a significant reduction of the phagocytic capacity of mononuclear cells at the peritoneal cavity. However, blue and green light irradiations were associated with a significant increase of the phagocytic capacity of mononuclear cells at the peritoneal cavity.
