Abstract

The experiments on male white rats with the use of biochemical, photo-optical, and electron-microscopic techniques have demonstrated that the use of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation of ultrahigh frequency (EMR UHF) and low-intensity low-frequency magnetic field (MF) during the post-irradiation period (within 21 days after exposure to radiation) enhanced the metabolic and regenerative processes in the testes and liver. It was shown that the application of MF largely intensified the antioxidant activity whereas EMR UHF preferentially stimulated the biosynthetic processes as well as the processes of cellular and intracellular regeneration.

Main findings

In male white rats, low-intensity ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EMR UHF) and a low-intensity low-frequency magnetic field applied during the post-irradiation period (within 21 days after radiation exposure) were reported to enhance metabolic and regenerative processes in the testes and liver. The magnetic field was reported to largely intensify antioxidant activity, while EMR UHF preferentially stimulated biosynthetic processes and cellular/intracellular regeneration.
