The review explicitly documents that FIR exposure induced phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in VEGF-treated HUVECs, and that FIR therapy upregulated arterial eNOS expression in hamsters and markedly increased hindlimb eNOS expression in mice (confirmed by Western blotting). The review further reports that eNOS-deficient mice and L-NAME-treated mice failed to show FIR-indu
