Chemiluminescence measurement for static magnetic field effect (0.1 T) of two period exposure on sheep whole blood in vitro

Abstract

static magnetic field (SMF) may effect on biological systems such effect on activity of phagocytic leukocytes and their respiratory bursts . To know these effects have not studied in details. Current investigation studied the effects of SMF (0.1 T) during two periods (one hour and three hour ) in vitro on sheep whole blood by detecting chemiluminescence (CL) . The control group samples were compared with exposed group samples to SMF. The results showed a significant increase of lucigenin-initiated CL in exposed sample with increasing exposed time However, CL of lucigenin amplified when increased free radical of oxygen in sample. So, these results suggests that SMF could increase activity of phagocytic leukocytes , respiratory bursts and the ability to produce free radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) .
