The Effect of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Electromagnetic Waves on the Prevention of Diabetes Induced by Streptozotocin in Mice: Blood Indicators

Background: Magnetic fields can affect physiological systems and some diseases, such as diabetes.Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the effect of a low-power magnetic field on the blood parameters of mice, with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.Material and Methods: In this experimental study, ۴۸ adult male mice were divided into six groups of eight. Diabetic mice were exposed to magnetic fields of ۰.۰۰۰۵ and ۰.۰۰۵ tesla for ۵ and ۱۰ days using Helmholtz coils. Blood samples were collected every other day to measure blood factors and assess the magnetic field’s effects on diabetes-related parameters.Results: In the diabetes groups, blood protein levels decreased without any effect from the magnetic intervention. However, in three out of the four groups, blood albumin increased under the influence of the magnetic field. The induction of a magnetic field led to a decrease in blood Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) activity. Additionally, the magnetic field resulted in increasing blood magnesium levels. Conclusion: The effects of the magnetic field and diabetes on the measured blood parameters, including GGT and magnesium were independent. However, the blood albumin level, which was reduced under the influence of induced diabetes, was improved by the magnetic fields, especially in the magnetic field of the ۰.۰۰۵ tesla.
