[Metabolism of copper, molybdenum, iron and manganese in rat tissues as affected by 50 Hz electric field].

The influence of the electric field of commerical frequency on metabolism and interorgan distribution of copper, molybdenum, iron and manganese was studied in the 4-month experiment on animals with their daily 30-minute exposition. The electric field intensity was 7.12 and 15 kV/m. The electric field effect on the animals is established to decrease excretion of trace elements with excrements and their accumulation in the organism, espically in the executive organs: spleen, brain, myocardium. These changes are considered as adaptive responses of the organism to the effect of the given factor. Changes in distribution of trace elements between the tissues of different organs proved to be a rather sensitive indicator to the electric field effect.
