Citocromo c: Diferenzas entre revisións

O citocromo c pénsase que é o complexo funcional na chamada [[terapia láser de baixo nivel]] (LLLT). Na LLLT, a luz vermella e algunhas [[lonxitude de onda|lonxitudes de onda]] cercanas ao [[infravermello]] penetran nos tecidos incrementando a rexeneración celular. A luz destas lonxitudes de onda parece capaz de incrementar a actividade do citocromo c, que deste modo aumenta a actividade [[metabolismo|metabólica]] e libera máis enerxía para que as células reparen o tecido.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Silveira PC, Streck EL, Pinho RA. |title=Cellular effects of low power laser therapy can be mediated by nitric oxide. |journal=Lasers Surg Med. |volume=36 |issue=4 |pages=307–14 |year=2005|pmid=15739174 |doi=10.1002/lsm.20148}}</ref>

 

 

Cytochrome ''c'' is also an intermediate in [[apoptosis]], a controlled form of cell death used to kill cells in the process of development or in response to infection or DNA damage.<ref name="pmid8689682">{{cite journal | author = Liu X, Kim CN, Yang J, Jemmerson R, Wang X | title = Induction of apoptotic program in cell-free extracts: requirement for dATP and cytochrome c | journal = Cell | volume = 86 | issue = 1 | pages = 147–57 |date=July 1996 | pmid = 8689682 | doi = 10.1016/S0092-8674(00)80085-9 }}</ref>
