Acute and subchronic toxicity of 20 kHz and 60 kHz magnetic fields in rats
Despite increasing use of intermediate frequency (IF) magnetic fields (MFs) in occupational and domestic settings, scientific evidence necessary for health risk assessments of IF MF is insufficient. Male and female Crl:CD(SD) rats (12 per sex per group) were exposed to 20 kHz, 0.20 mT(root mean square, rms) or 60 kHz, 0.10 mT(rms) sinusoidal MFs for 22 h day(-1) for 14 days (acute) or 13 weeks ...
متن کاملLack of Teratological Effects in Rats Exposed to 20 or 60 kHz Magnetic Fields
BACKGROUND A risk assessment of magnetic field (MF) exposure conducted by the World Health Organization indicated the need for biological studies on primary hazard identification and quantitative risk evaluation of intermediate frequency (300 Hz-100 kHz) MFs. Because induction heating cookers generate such MFs for cooking, reproductive and developmental effects are a concern due to the close pr...
متن کاملAcute and subchronic toxicity assessment of Melastomastrum capitatum Fern. leaf methanol extract in Wistar albino rats
This study was carried in order to determine short-term (acute) and long-term(subchronic) effects of Melastomastrum capitatum leaf methanol extract in the management and treatment of certain diseases in traditional and complementary medicines by many villages in Mambila Nigeria. Acute and subchronic toxicities were carried out in accordance with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and D...
متن کاملEvaluation of mutagenicity by exposure to intermediate frequency (2, 10, 20 kHz) magnetic fields
In this study, we examine mutagenicity of 2, 10 and 20 kHz, 0.8mT intermediate frequency magnetic fields (IF-MFs) by mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) using L5178Y tk3.7.2c cells. The result shows that no significant increase or decrease in mutation frequency by exposure to any IF-MFs. In addition, no significant difference was observed in colony formation such as shape or frequency of large and small...
متن کاملAcute and Subchronic Toxicity of Teucrium polium Total Extract in Rats
Teucrium Polium L. (TP) is widely used in traditional medicine of many countries including Iran. There are various reports about pharmacological properties of TP such as calcium antagonist, anti- ulcer, anti – diabetic. There are a few reports about possible toxicological effects of this plant. In the present study we designed to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of Teucrium Polium total extract...
