Nitric oxide levels were higher in men immediately after a 30-minute exposure to a 1.5 T magnetic field.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers measured nitric oxide production in 33 healthy young male volunteers aged 18 to 26 years old immediately after a 30-minute exposure to a 1.5 T magnetic field. A control group of 30 healthy male volunteers aged 19 to 26 years old was not exposed to the magnetic field, and their nitric oxide levels were also measured. Total nitrite concentration in post-exposure samples was found to be higher than in pre-exposure samples (P < .05).

Why This Matters

The experimental group was exposed using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus. Nitrite and nitrate concentrations were determined by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA.
