## Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine whether low frequency magnetic field (MF) influences nighttime secretion of hormones, particularly melatonin. Ten healthy males stayed in the experimental room (2.7 m cube with 3 axis Merritt coils) on two separate nights. On one night, subjects

β¦ Synopsis
Female rats were implanted with mammary adenocarcinoma tissue and 25 days later exposed to 2,000-Hz magnetic fields 1 h a day for 9 days. Analysis showed that tumor weights and the levels of several reproductive hormones were not significantly different between treated and control animals. Other studies with a similar design have also reported no significant effects from magnetic field exposure. However, vaginal smear data from all animals revealed that handling and restraint stress may have confounded the detection of subtle magnetic field effects.
