Biophotonic Therapy on Hematologic Parameters in Diabetes | Chapter 12 | Medical Science: Updates and Prospects Vol. 6

 

In diabetic patients, haematological alterations are associated with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a consequence of long-term hyperglycemia. This chapter examines the beneficial effects of biophotonic therapy on hematologic parameters, with particular emphasis on its relevance to diabetes management. Sunlight, a primary natural source of photonic energy, has historically been associated with healing processes, including relief from infections, support of wound repair, and enhancement of general vitality. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying photon-mediated therapies remain incompletely defined, emerging evidence suggests that UV-derived light can modulate immune responses, inhibit microbial replication, and improve peripheral tissue oxygenation. The complex immunologic effects of UV exposure include both vitamin D–mediated immune support and, in excessive doses, immunosuppressive changes accompanied by DNA damage. Notably, biophotonic interventions have been linked to reductions in HbA1c concentrations, representing a potentially significant advance in diabetic care. These effects may stem from the photodissociation of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin, resulting in enhanced oxygen availability and improved tissue regeneration. Collectively, the chapter highlights the therapeutic promise of biophotonic approaches as adjunctive strategies for improving hematologic function and metabolic outcomes in individuals with diabetes.

Evaluation of the In-vitro Antioxidant Activity and In-vivo Anti-Wrinkle Activities of Combined Lavandula angustifolia and Nerium oleander on Laboratory Mice | Chapter 3 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 5

The current study investigates the in vitro antioxidant activity and in vivo anti-wrinkle effects of a combined ethanolic leaf extract of Lavandula angustifolia and Nerium oleander on laboratory mice. Antioxidant potential was evaluated using assays such as the hydrogen peroxide scavenging method. The combined extract IC50 value was found to be 17.96±2 which is comparable to standard Ascorbic acid (19.95±2). The in vivo anti-wrinkle activity was assessed by topically applying the extract to the UV-exposed skin of laboratory mice over a specified period. Key indicators such as wrinkle reduction and improvements in skin appearance were monitored and the results were tabulated in Table 13. The results demonstrated that the combined leaf extract exhibited significant antioxidant activity, suggesting its potential to mitigate oxidative stress. Furthermore, the in vivo application significantly improved skin parameters, confirming its efficacy in reducing wrinkle formation. These findings highlight the potential use of this plant-based formulation in cosmetic and therapeutic applications for skin health.
