Time-dependent effects of exposure to static magnetic field on glucose and lipid metabolism in rat

Rok, strany: 2010, 390 - 395

In the following study, we investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) (128 mT, 1 h/day during 5 or 15 consecutive days) on anthropometric parameters, glucose and lipid metabolism in rats. Exposure to SMF during 5 days induced a decrease (–8%, p < 0.05) in relative liver weight and serum insulin concentration (–56%, p < 0.001), while blood glucose level was increased (+10%, p < 0.001). By contrast, the same treatment failed to alter body weight, relative kidney weight and levels of lactate, cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids. Exposure to SMF during 15 days induced a decrease (–15 %, p < 0.001) in body weight, liver weight (–15 %, p < 0.05), insulin concentration (–63%, p < 0.001), plasmatic lactate level (–55%, p < 0.05) and increased glucose (+24%, p < 0.001), cholesterol (+30%, p < 0.01,) and phospholipids levels (+58%, p < 0.001), whereas, triglycerides decreased (–28%, p < 0.001). These results showed that SMF effects on glucose and lipid metabolism are time-dependent.
