Abstract
A method for treating obesity by activating non-shivering thermogenesis in mitochondria of targeted brown adipose tissue. A photobiomodulation device including one or more light sources is provided. The mitochondria of the targeted brown adipose tissue is photobiomodulated by exposure to light produced by the light source at a wavelength that modulates photoactivity of an electron transport chain and increases proton transfer across a membrane of the mitochondria of the targeted brown adipose tissue towards an intern space of the mitochondria, without increasing production of adenosine triphosphate.
