The Effects of Static Magnetic Field on Rats Brain, Lungs, Liver, Pancreas and Blood Electrolytes

Abstract

The effects of a static magnetic field of 1.5 Tesla during an exposure time of 0-3 hours was characterized in four groups (E 0 , E 1 , E 2, and E 3 ) of rat tissue (brain, lungs, liver, and pancreas) and blood electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and calcium). Before exposure, the average levels for electrolytes were 116.81± 3.67, 5.16 ± 0.28 mmol/l, and 0.23 ± 0.07 mg/dl respectively. Significant reductions (R 2 =0.98, P = 0.05) in sodium and calcium were seen following exposure in a time linear correlation; the reduction was 31.55% and 15.59% respectively. Potassium increased following the exposure time in a linear form; the increase was 47.76% at 3 hours of exposure. While the observed effects in tissues were primarily due to edema (vacuolations) and degeneration in brain tissue, alveolar congestion, emphysema, and hemorrhage were also seen in lung tissue. Atrophy was observed in the liver, and necrosis seen in the pancreas..

Transcranial Magneto-Acoustic Stimulation Improves Neuroplasticity in Hippocampus of Parkinson's Disease Model Mice

“…Unlike the currently widely applied TMS that utilized repetitive magnetic stimulation at a certain frequency, our TMAS technique used a static magnetic field. Previous literatures demonstrated high intensity (1.5 T) and long exposure (3 h) of static magnetic field did impact biological samples, such as Na + and Ca 2+ levels in the rat brain [49]. To avoid this problem, we used low intensity (0.17 T) and short exposure time (60 s) of magnetic field in our study to minimize possible tissue injury.…”

Alteration of intrapancreatic serotonin, homocysteine, TNF-α, and NGF levels as predisposing factors for diabetes following exposure to 900-MHz waves

“…Alteration in the size of pancreatic islets and changes in the cell membrane electrical activity are the suggested mechanisms for the effects of EMF on the pancreas function and insulin release (Farashi et al, 2018). Oxidative stress is also a well-known mediator in the occurrence of pathological lesions and degenerative effects in the pancreatic endocrine (including beta cells) and exocrine cells (Farahna et al, 2014;Sakurai et al, 2008;Topsakal et al, 2017).…”

The ameliorative effect of gallic acid on pancreas lesions induced by 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation (Wi-Fi) in young rats

“…a exposure to artificial EMR and the changing health of diabetic sufferers is an established fact that has been demonstrated beyond doubt in numerous scientific studies (Sakurai et al, 2004(Sakurai et al, , 2005(Sakurai et al, , 2008. Previously, endocrine pancreatic cell damage from EMR has been described using cell culture or histological levels (Sakurai et al, 2005(Sakurai et al, , 2008(Sakurai et al, , 2004Farahna et al, 2014), but there is no study related pathogenesis of the damage. Accordingly, our study was the first to study the pathological effects of EMR on both endocrine and exocrine pancreatic cells during the developmental period at the histopathological, immunohistochemical and biochemical levels.…”
