Online published on 30 April, 2019. Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Green tea extracts (GTE) and Low Level Laser Therapy (L.L.L.T.) on healing of feet arthritis. Elevated free radical generation in inflamed joints and impaired antioxidant system has been implicated in arthritis. The medicinal effects of tea have a history dating back almost 5000 years. The chemical components of green tea chiefly include polyphenols, caffeine and amino acids. Tea also contains flavonoids, compounds reported to have antioxidant properties having many beneficial effects. Tea flavonoids reduce inflammation, have antimicrobial effects. Laser Therapy is active at both the cellular and systemic levels activating a variety of mechanisms including cartilage regeneration, DNA synthesis, improved microcirculation and an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. This study included twenty four adult male rats; the arthritis induced in all animals by using the formaldehyde then was divided into four groups (6 rats each) G1 control group, G2 treated with Low Level Laser Therapy LLLT, G3 treated with GTE and G4 treated with LLLT and GTE in physiology laboratory. This study investigates possible mechanisms by which laser and GTE protect joints in rat model by the blood parameters studying in Experimentally Infected laboratory Rats with Arthritis.
