Abstract

Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been extensively studied for its effects on biological tissues, particularly regarding mitochondrial modulation. This study presents an experimental approach to assess, in real time, the bioelectric responses of in vitro animal blood samples exposed to 808 nm radiation. Digital oscilloscopy and infrared thermography techniques were employed, allowing integrated analysis of electrical parameters across experimental groups: saline solution, irradiated saline, blood, and irradiated blood. Conclusion: Irradiation with an 808 nm infrared LED modulated the bioelectrical activity of blood, maintaining stable amplitudes and frequencies even with a slight thermal increase. Photobiomodulation preserved the cellular biopotential without overload, and the integration of oscilloscopy and thermography constitutes a robust strategy for real-time analysis and investigation of cellular bioelectrical mechanisms.
