Abstract
200 mg/kg 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was given orally to 24 rats. Four animals served as controls and received phosphate buffered saline orally. The animals were illuminated at various time points after ALA administration. Illumination was performed with a cylindrical diffuser placed in a balloon catheter. The same illumination parameters (633 nm, 25 J radiant energy/cm diffuser, power output 100 mW/cm diffuser) were used for each animal. During illumination, fluorescent measurements and light dosimetry were performed. The animals were sacrificed at 48 hours after photodynamic therapy for histological assessment.
