Effect of Alternating Magnetic Field at Extremely Low Frequency on Cells: Secretion of Insulin by Beta Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of alternating magnetic field at extremely low frequency on secretion of insulin from beta cells has been investigated in vitro. Beta cells from a hamster were exposed to the uniform magnetic field with the Helmholtz coil. After three days cultivation, insulin concentration in the medium was measured. The experimental results show that secretion of insulin by beta cells tend to decrease by exposure to alternating magnetic field.

Effect of Long-term Exposure to Extremely Low-frequency Electromagnetic Fields on β-amyloid Deposition and Microglia Cells in an Alzheimer Model in Rats
Background: Recently, researchers have considered extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs), as one of the non-invasive therapies, in the treatment of many severe neurological disorders, including Alzheimer Disease (AD). AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the deposition of amyloid plaques in the brain. However, the increase in microglial cells increas...
