The influence of 50% decrease and increase of the earth magnetic field on the activity of the enzymes hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT) and N-acetyl-serotonintransferase (NAT) is proved in vivo and in vitro. NAT and HIOMT catalyse the melatonin biosynthesis in the pineal gland and in the retina. Our results support the hypothesis of Leask and Schulten, that molecular magnetic field sensitivity is the basis of animals' magnetic field detection.
地球磁场强度降低50%和增加50%对羟吲哚-O-甲基转移酶(HIOMT)和N-乙酰血清素转移酶(NAT)活性的影响已在体内和体外得到证实。NAT和HIOMT催化松果体和视网膜中的褪黑素生物合成。我们的结果支持Leask和Schulten的假设,即分子磁场敏感性是动物磁场检测的基础。
