Abstract
This study investigated the effects of a static magnetic field (SMF) on hematopoiesis and biochemical parameters in female rats. Pregnant rats were exposed to SMF (128 mT-1 hour/day from day 6 to day 19 of pregnancy). At 25 degrees C, the exposure of rats 1 hour/day for 13 consecutive days to SMF induced an increase in hematocrit (Ht) level (+6%, p < 0.05), hemoglobin (Hb) concentration (+12%, p < 0.05) and LDH levels (67%, p < 0.05 ), suggesting an hypoxia-like state. Moreover, exposure to SMF increased blood glucose and decreased insulin release, leading to a diabetic-like state in pregnant rats.Entities:
