Study on the Effect of Rotating Magnetic Field on Cellular Response of Mammalian Cells

Abstract

The effect of magnetic fields (MFs) on mammalian cells in vitro has been studied to clarify in greater details potential influence on biological systems. In spite of the numerous and valuable experiments, the MF molecular mechanisms that affect cells still remain unclear. Thus, the aim of the study was to evaluate the cellular response of L929 fibroblast cell line to a rotating magnetic field (RMF) for 8-h exposure incubation period. We conclude that the exposure of L929 fibroblasts to the rotating magnetic field (RMF) in tested magnetic flux density range alerted the cellular dehydrogenases metabolism in a dose-dependent manner, with the highest values in dehydrogenases activity for cells incubated at 10.06 mT and lowest incubated at 1.23 mT of RMF.
