Effect of PBM on mitochondrial and cell respiration of MIN6 cells. The MIN6 cells are exposed to 2.8 mW/cm² PBM illumination. a Effect of PBM on the MIN6 cells’ complex I (glutamate malate) activity. b Effect of PBM on the MIN6 cells’ complex II (succinate) activity. c Effect of PBM on the MIN6 cells’ complex IV (TMPD) activity. d Effect of PBM on respiration of the whole MIN6 cells. AA: antimycin A; Oligo: Oligomycine; PBM: photobiomodulation; RCR: respiratory control ratio (state 3/state 4) graduation is in the right y-axis; ROUT: routine respiration of intact cells. Results are obtained by oxygraphy and expressed as nmol of oxygen consumed per minute per 5 million live cells. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM,n = 4, One-way ANOVA Fisher’s with Tukey post-hoc test, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
