Effects Of Exposure To Constant Or Pulsed 50 Hz Magnetic Fields On Body Weight And Blood Glucose Concentration Of Balb/C Mice

The aim of study was to comparison of constant and pulsed ELF MF for body weight and blood glucose changes in animal model, twenty-eight female BALB/C mice were divided in to four experimental groups; group 1 or in exposure to constant 50 Hz MF for 20 day, group 2 or in exposure to 50 Hz constant MF (CMF) for 10 days, group 3 or in exposure to 50 Hz pulsed MF (PMF) for 20 day and group 4 in exposure pulsed 50 HZ MF for 10 day. Results indicated that body weight of mice hadn't significant change in exposure to 10 or 20 day exposure to CMF or PMF, but mice in group 2 with 10 day exposure to 50Hz CMF had lowest glucose level (110.2 mg/dL) in compared with other groups (P< 0.05). Constant 50 Hz MF is efficient for blood glucose lowering with 122.4 and 110.2 mg/dL for group 1 and 2 in compared with 138.1 and 129.2 mg/dL for groups in exposure to PMF. It is concluded that, 50 Hz CMF or PMF didn't have any effects on body weight of mice during 20 day exposing period, but 50 Hz CMF could lowered blood glucose concentration in 10 or 20 day exposure.
