Gender-Related Effect in Oxygenation Dynamics by Using Far-Infrared Intervention with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Measurement: A Gender Differences Controlled Trial

December 1, 2015

Abstract

Many studies have indicated the microcirculation can directly respond to disease-related symptoms. However, the capacity of microcirculation would vary due to the gender differences. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive technique to monitor tissue oxygenation dynamics. In this study, the far-infrared (FIR) source was used for physiological intervention of microcirculation. The experimental results show that the nature difference of oxygenation status exists between male and female during FIR irradiation. Therefore, we suggest the NIRS-based assessment should be calibrated with the gender-related effect for clinical diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease.

A new study published in Cells has provided further insight into the molecular responses of arterial endothelial cells following far-infrared (FIR) irradiation.  The study, conducted by researchers from Gunma Paz University, Japan, investigated the effects of FIR on human femoral artery endothelial cells (HFAECs) using an integrated multi-omics approach combining transcriptomics, proteomics, and phosphoproteomics. FIR irradiation was delivered using the WSTM TY101F far-infrared therapy unit manufactured by WS Far Infrared Medical Technology.
