The magnetic field (MF)-induced activities changes of antioxidant enzymes.
MF Types | Species | Cell Lines/Organisms | MF Exposure | Antioxidant Enzymes | Refs. | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Conditions | Time | |||||
SMFs | Mouse | Cochlea tissue of C57BL/6 mice | 5 mT | 1/3/5/7/14 days (8 h first day, 2 h/day for the rest) | CAT and SOD activities significantly increased only after 3 days exposure, but not others | [44] |
Plant | Soybean seeds | 150–200 mT | 1 h | SOD activity was reduced | [37] | |
Broad bean (Vicia faba L.) | 15 mT | 8 h/day, 8 days | SOD increased, CAT decreased, indirectly suggest ROS accumulation | [111] | ||
ELF-EMFs | Mouse cells | Preadipocyte cell (3T3-L1) | 180–195 Hz, 120 μT | 36 min/day, 2 days | SOD decreased, CAT increased, GSH-Px and GSSG-Rd with no change after 24 h; but SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px significantly decreased, GSSG-Rd with no change after 48 h | [112] |
Mouse | Balb/c mouse brain | 60 Hz, 1.2 mT | 3 h | SOD increased | [113] | |
RF-EMRs | Rat cells | Male Wistar rats sperm | 50 GHz | 2 h/day, 45 days | CAT significantly increased, SOD and GSH-Px significantly decreased | [114] |
Rat | Female Wistar rats | 900 MHz | 1 h/day, 7 days | No change (SOD and GSH-Px decreased non-significantly) | [115] | |
Male SD rats | 30 min/day, 3 months | No change (SOD, CAT and GSH-Px decreased marginally) | [116] | |||
Brain of male Wistar rats | 2 h/day, 45 days | SOD and GSH-Px decreased, CAT increased | [101] | |||
Rabbit | Male albino rabbits | 30 min/day, 7 days | Serum SOD activity increased | [117] |
