In the injuried cells, light fromthe laser gets absorb bycytochrome c oxidase(COX)which cleaves NO from the COXmolecule reversing theinhibition and providing energyfor the cell to function, repair,and reproduce .In the mitochondria of all cellscytochrome c oxidase(COX) isconverted into AdensineTriphosphate(ATP). ATP is theenergy of the cell. This process isknow as celluar respiration.ConditionsOffice InfoIntro Page
