  It is well established that the use of combined therapies involving exercise and photobiomodulation potentiate the treatment of overweight and obesity and its comorbidities. Nevertheless, the role of antioxidant enzymes in this approach remains to be well understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise combined to Photobiomodulation on the activity of anti-oxidant enzymes. Sixty-four rats were divided in two groups: sedentary and exercised. These groups were fed with normocaloric or high fat diets, and submitted or not to LLLT, totalizing 8 experimental groups. The exercise protocol used was moderate swimming training for 90 min/5 times a week for eight weeks, and LLLT (830 nm), dose was 4.7J / point and the total energy of 9.4J per rat. The LLLT application was performed in both gastrocnemius muscles after exercise. The activities of superoxide.. View More»
