1. A method of modulating nitric oxide in living mammalian tissue, the method comprising:

  • impinging light on the tissue, wherein the light impinging on the tissue comprises incoherent light emissions including a first peak wavelength in a range of from 410 nm to 440 nm and a first radiant flux, and wherein the first peak wavelength and the first radiant flux are selected to simulate at least one of (i) enzymatic generation of nitric oxide to increase endogenous stores of nitric oxide or (ii) release of nitric oxide from endogenous stores of nitric oxide,wherein the light impinged on the tissue is substantially devoid of light emissions having a peak wavelength in a range of from 60- nm to 900 nm.
