Effect of a pulsed magnetic field and of first cold-pressure sunflower oil on mice.

In previous studies it has been shown that exposure of mice to a 12-Hz 6 mT unipolar square pulsed magnetic field (PMF) suppressed the excess of weight due to application of 1st cold-pressure sunflower oil. This time we considered the effect of oil and/or PMF on the growing curves lifespans of mice. The exposure took place for 30 min 5 days a week, from the 7th week of life to death.

Effect of pulsed magnetic fields on triglyceride and cholesterol levels in plasma of rats.

Background: Liver is a crucial organ in metabolism. For instance liver is the main source of circulating lipoproteins.

Methods: In this paper cholesterol and triglyceride plasma levels were measured in male rats previously exposed to pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) used in therapy.

The effect of a pulsed magnetic field and that of methyl-silane triol on galactosamine induced hepatitis among rats.

Liver cell necrosis was induced in rats by a galactosamine injection. Cell death was due to an increase of Ca++ intracellular levels and was also under the control of genes. Rats were then either exposed or not to a 6 mT 100 HZ pulsed magnetic field (PMF) and they either received or not methylsilane-triol injections.

Effect of pulsed magnetic fields on cholesterol and tryglyceride levels in rats study of field intensity and length of exposure.

In a previous work a decrease in cholesterol and triglyceride plasma levels was observed in rats 24 hours after their exposure to a 12 Hz 6 mT pulsed magnetic field (PMF). This time, a study of intensity effects of a 12 Hz PMF for a sixty-minute exposure and of length of exposure for a 12 Hz 6 mT PMF took place. Non-linear effect-dose relationships were observed for the PMF intensity as well as for the length of exposure used.

Exposure of mice to pulsed magnetic fields: long-term observations.

This work was undertaken to check the effects of 460 Hz pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) on the growth curves of mice, and to observe any possible long term effect. Effects on the growth curves have already been shown in young female AKR mice. Eight-week-old Swiss female mice underwent, until death, a twice weekly a one-hour-exposure to a 460 Hz 6 mT PMF.
