In 2 experiments male CF-1 mice were exposed for 60 min, during the mid-dark period of the day-night cycle, to low-intensity (0.5-1.5 gauss, rms) 60-Hz magnetic fields and then tested for levels of analgesia induced by morphine (10 mg/kg) injections. The magnetic field exposures inhibited the degree of morphine-induced analgesia in a field intensity-dependent manner in both experiments (P less than 0.01) with the largest inhibitory effect after exposure to the 1.5-gauss field. Analysis of the combined data from the two experiments revealed a significant (P less than 0.001) linear relationship between level of analgesia and magnetic field intensity. Thus, these data demonstrated a functional relationship between the behavioral effects of morphine in mice and the strength of the 60-Hz magnetic field. Possible mechanisms underlying these effects are discussed.
在2项实验中,雄性CF-1小鼠在昼夜循环的黑暗期中期暴露于低强度(均方根值为0.5 - 1.5高斯)的60赫兹磁场中60分钟,然后检测吗啡(10毫克/千克)注射诱导的镇痛水平。在两项实验中,磁场暴露均以场强依赖的方式抑制了吗啡诱导的镇痛程度(P < 0.01),暴露于1.5高斯场后抑制作用最大。对两项实验的合并数据进行分析发现,镇痛水平与磁场强度之间存在显著的(P < 0.001)线性关系。因此,这些数据证明了小鼠体内吗啡的行为效应与60赫兹磁场强度之间存在功能关系。文中讨论了这些效应潜在的可能机制。
