Light-Induced Nitric Oxide Release in the Skin Beyond UVA and Blue Light: Red & Near-Infrared Wavelengths

This 2021 review explores the role of red and near-infrared (NIR) light in stimulating nitric oxide (NO) release from the skin, expanding upon prior focus on UVA and blue light. The study highlights mechanisms including photolysis of nitrosated species and potential activation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), even at non-damaging
