Study Details

The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible effect of an extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) on nitric oxide (NO) level.

In this study, 27 male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The rats were divided into three groups: two e...

A significant reduction was observed in nitrite levels among the first and second experimental group...

These results suggest that prolonged ELF-MF exposure at intensities of exposure limits, determined by ICNIRP for public and occupational, may reduce NO production probably affected by NO generation pathways.
