[Changes in mast cells after their exposure to constant electromagnetic field]

By means of luminescent histochemistry effect of a constant magnetic field with induction 60 mTl (exposition for 2, 6, 36 h and 7 days) has been studied in order to reveal contents of catecholamines in mesenteric mast cells and in the intestinal mesentery cells in 50 white Wistar rats. In 2-6 h specific luminescence of the mast cells increases, however, at prolongation of the exposure up to 30 h metabolism of catecholamines in the mast cells is inhibited noticeably++ (luminescence disappears). In 8 days amount of the mast cells and specific luminescence of catecholamines decrease. The essential shifts revealed in the system of the mast cells of the mammalian should be taken into consideration in the magnetic-therapeutic practice. Close spatial relations between the mast cells and the mesenteric adrenergic terminals have been elucidated, demonstrating their morphofunctional interconnection.
