'''Zerona''' is a low-level laser device applied for non-invasive body slimming of the waist, hips, and thighs.  It has been shown to disrupt [[adipocyte]], or fat cell, membranes causing the release of stored [[lipids]] and fatty material, in turn, promoting adipocyte collapse.  The device was first introduced to the market in 2008 as an [[off-label use]] device for slimming, but later was granted 510k market(contracted; show full) [[inner mitochondrial membrane]] to reduce oxygen and generate a proton [[electrochemical gradient]].  Cytochrome c oxidase serves an important role in the metabolic process known as [[oxidative phosphorylation]], which is the production of the high energy molecule [[adenosine triphosphate]] (ATP).<ref>{{cite book |first1=Reginald |last1=Garrett |first2=Charles M. |last2=Grisham |title=Biochemistry |edition=3rd |year=2010 |isbn=978-0-495-10935-8 |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=iGPsen3fSOIC}}{{
