Table 1 Ozone therapy can induce the following biological responses
From: Mechanisms of Action Involved in Ozone Therapy: Is healing induced via a mild oxidative stress?
a) | Improves blood circulation and oxygen delivery in ischemic tissue owing to NO, CO, and increase levels of intra-erythrocytic 2, 3-DPG. |
b) | Enhances general metabolism by improving oxygen delivery. |
c) | Upregulates cellular antioxidant enzymes and induction of HO-1 and HSP70. |
d) | Induces a mild activation of the immune system and enhances the release of growth factors. |
e) | Does not procure acute or late side effects. |
f) | Procures a surprising wellness in most patients, probably via the stimulation of the neuroendocrine system. |
g) | Activates neuroprotective systems. |
