Reparative properties of infrared laser exposure are well known, but the effects of green laser light are little studied. We analyzed the effects of short (60 sec) and longer (180 sec) exposure to infrared (980 nm) and green (520 nm) laser on the number of activated myosatellite cells in the regenerating m. gastrocnemius of Wistar rats after infliction of an incision wound. Histological preparations were used for morphometric evaluation of myosatellite cells with MyoD+ nuclei. Increased numbers of MyoD+ nuclei were observed on days 3 and 7 after 60-sec exposure to infrared and green laser.
