[The use of laser radiation for correcting cholesterol metabolic disorders in gallstones]

The authors have demonstrated in the experiment that under the influence of irradiation of the liver by means of a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 890 nm, pronounced activation of its microsomal system occurs. The data obtained have become a basis for the development and introduction in the clinic in 96 patients of a technique of laser correction of hypercholesterolemia. A good therapeutic effect has been noted in all the patients.
