Abstract:
Twenty guinea pigs were exposed 1 hour daily, for 3 to 7 weeks to constant magnetic field (CMF), the induction of which was 0.005 T, and 0.3 T. Hepatocytes were examined in semithin sections with light microscope and TEM. The negative photographic plates of the TEM were analyzed and measured with densitometer. It was shown that CMF of the induction 0.005 T and 0.3 T exhibited structural changes in hepatocytes, primarily in mitochondria.
