✦ Synopsis

Hydration and [3H]ouabain uptake by different tissues of adult male rats were measured immediately after exposure to homogenous 0.2 T steady magnetic field. A time-dependent decrease of hydration and adaptation, followed by disadaptation, was detected in brain and liver tissues in most of the rats after 3.5-5 h of exposure. The number of functional active ouabain binding receptors, which correlates with cell volume, was also decreased in brain, liver, and spleen and increased in kidney tissue after half an hour of exposure. It is suggested that cell hydration is a second messenger through which the SMF exerts its influence.

Two separate, independent experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of exposure of rats to a 50-Hz linearly polarized, 100 T magnetic field (MF) on the ex vivo production of interleukins (ILs) by mitogen-stimulated splenic lymphocytes. IL-1 and IL-2 were determined by proliferation assays,

The effect of exposure to a 50 Hz, vertical magnetic field on the excretion of urinary 6-sulphatoxymelatonin (aMT6s) of rats was studied in a self-controlled experiment. Ten male Wistar rats were kept under 9:15 h light:dark conditions in metabolic cages. The rats were exposed to 1.0 or 100 mT flux
