Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate whether transcutaneous xenon light irradiation of skeletal muscle increases skeletal muscle blood flow. [Subjects and Methods] Thirteen healthy volunteers participated in this study, and they received: experiment 1) 10 minutes transcutaneous xenon light irradiation of the bilateral triceps surae (TS) muscles during prone rest, and experiment 2) 10 minutes prone rest without transcutaneous xenon light irradiation of the bilateral TS muscles. Concentrations of the oxidative hemoglobin in the TS muscle (TS-HbO2) were continuously measured during each experiment. [Results] During experiment 1, TS-HbO2 continued to increase with time. During experiment 2, on the other hand, there were no apparent changes in TS-HbO2 with time. In addition, TS-HbO2 levels during experiment 1 were generally higher than those during Experiment 2. [Conclusion] These results strongly suggest that transcutaneous xenon light irradiation of skeletal muscle increases skeletal muscle blood flow. <br>
