Photobiomodulation Reverses Hypertrophic Adipocytes: Implications for Obesity-Related Metabolic Dysfunction
Study: PBM (1064 nm) Reverses Hypertrophic Adipocytes
Study Overview
- Description: This research characterized the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) on an in vitro hypertrophic obesity model, investigating its influence on the reduction of lipids and restoration of normal adipocyte function. Hypertrophic adipocytes are implicated in obesity-induced complications.

Summary
- Participants: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro, induced to hypertrophy by the addition of palmitic acid (PA).
- Intervention: PBM using a 1064 nm wavelength.
- Methods: The study characterized the effects of PBM on these hypertrophic stem cell-derived adipocytes, focusing on the reduction of lipids and the restoration of normal adipocyte function.
- Conclusion: The study demonstrated that PBM (1064 nm) can reverse stem cell-derived hypertrophic adipocytes, suggesting its potential to influence lipid accumulation and restore normal adipocyte function in the context of obesity-related complications.
