We determined the effect of polychromatic light-emitting diodes (LED) in burn healing of non-diabetic and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. LEDs were used as the light source for phototherapy. The polychromatic LED is a cluster of 25 diodes emitting photons at wavelengths of 510-543, 594-599, 62...
