Figure 4.1 Longitudinal level measurements of CK levels in intact gastrocnemius mus-
cle in rats that underwent laser irradiation (black lines) and rats that had no additional
treatment (gray lines). Statistically significant change in CK levels between laser-
irradiated intact muscles and nonirradiated intact muscles is presented with black aster-
isks. Asterisks denote significant
