Sumario:BACKGROUND: Several recent papers report the efficacy of low energy laser radiation in the red and near-infra-red part of the spectrum in the stimulation and regeneration of tissue under normal and stressful conditions. Gallium-aluminum-arsenic (GaAlAs) lasers, which emit radiation in this region of the spectrum, can reduce spasms and increase neuromuscular activity. The molecular mechanisms of this process, however, are not well understood.OBJETIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of red (655 nm) and near infrared (830 nm) laser radiation on neurotransmission in the neuromuscular junctions of mice.METHODS: Experiments were undertaken on sixty diaphragm muscles and twenty elevating muscles of mouse ears. GaAlAs laser radiation (655 nm and 830 nm) with an energy density between 4 and 12 J/cm2 was employed. The liberation of neurotransmitters was studied through the conventional technique of intracellular measurement in muscles treated with curare or in a medium with a high magnesium concentration. Neurotransmission was evaluated as: 1) The quantum content, amplitude, latency of evoked end-plate potentials (EPPs).2) The frequency and amplitude of the spontaneous end-plate potentials (MEPPs).3) Short-term plasticity of the neurotransmitter release (fast facilitation). The objective of this study was to determine the effect of red (655 nm) and near infrared (830 nm) laser radiation on neurotransmission in the neuromuscular junctions of mice. Was also evaluated by paired pulse stimulation. 4) The compound muscular action potential (CMPA) was evaluated using the neurographic technique. RESULTS: The liberation of neurotransmitter from the motor end-plate in mice, did not present detectable modifications after GaAlAs laser irradiation at 655 nm. The 830
