Abstract

The clear effects of SMF (static magnetic field) on many organs of the body have not been known until now and have puzzled scientists. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of the whole-body magnetic field exposure on the levels of some reproductive and thyroid hormones (estradiol, testosterone, FSH, LH, T3 and T4) and some immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) of male rats. Twenty mature male albino rats with an average weight of 150 to 200g, randomly distributed to two groups of 10 animals each. The first group was considered as the control group. The second group was exposed to SMF of 20-25 mT (millitesla) 24h/day for 10 days. The results showed a highly significant increase in the concentration of testosterone but, estradiol, FSH, LH, T3 and T4 concentrations were significantly decreased (P≤0.001) using this MF intensity in comparison to the control group. This paralleled with a significant decrease (P≤0.01) in IgG and IgM serum levels. In conclusion, this study highlights some adverse effect of SMF on some reproductive and thyroid hormones as well as some immunoglobulins.
