Plain English Summary
Researchers assessed the impact of static magnetic fields of different intensities on redox homeostasis in cultures of fibroblasts. Six chambers with field flux densities varying from 0.1 to 0.7 T were used in the research. ATP concentration and the generation of malondialdehyde, a marker of oxidative stress, remained stable, while the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase decreased.
Why This Matters
The study measured several markers related to oxidative stress, including the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, as well as ATP and malondialdehyde. Malondialdehyde is used as a marker of oxidative stress, and its generation was stable across exposures. The results suggest the fields may show slight antioxidizing activity.
Exposure Details
- Magnetic Field
- 100 to 700 mT
Exposure Context
This study used 100 to 700 mT for magnetic fields:
- 5Mx above the Building Biology guideline of 0.2 mG
- 1Mx above the BioInitiative Report recommendation of 1 mG
Building Biology guidelines are practitioner-based limits from real-world assessments. BioInitiative Report recommendations are based on peer-reviewed science. Check Your Exposure to compare your own measurements.
Where This Falls on the Concern Scale
Study Details
The goal of current work was to assess the impact of static magnetic field of different intensities on redox homeostasis in cultures of fibroblasts.
During the research we used 6 chambers, designed exclusively by us, with different values of field f...
We have noted the decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase ...
Results of research suggest that static magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets do not cause oxidative stress in investigated fibroblasts and that they may show slight antioxidizing activity.
