[Effect of a permanent magnetic field on the endocrine system].

The review of the reported data indicates that endocrine glands react to the constant magnetic field (CMF). The paper presents information about the phasic pattern of hypophyseal-adrenal reaction and CMF effects on the sympathoadrenal system and thyroid. The review refers to many publications demonstrating high sensitivity to testes of the CMF. The paper discusses potential therapeutic applications of the CMF with emphasis on the fact that most morphological data available need biochemical support.
