Effect of chronic exposure to static magnetic field upon the serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity GPT and morphology of the cardiac muscle, skeletal muscles, kidneys, cerebellum and lung tissue in guinea pigs.

In a cycle of investigations concerning the pathogenesis of functional changes caused by the influence of magnetic field of induction occurring in laboratory and industrial conditions glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity in external blood and morphological picture of cardiac muscle, skeletal muscles, kidneys, cerebellum and lung tissue in guinea pigs were examined. Static homogeneous magnetic field as low as 0.005 T produced a statistically significant decrease in GPT activity. The animals were exposed to the magnetic field action for seven weeks 1 hour a day, 7 days a week. The range of observed changes of enzyme activity were determined by the duration of magnetic field. No morphological changes were observed.
