Abstract
"Effects of Low Electromagnetic Waves on Thymus Size, Testis and Body Weight and Therapeutic Role of Vitamin C in Mice"
Highlights
Results of several studies on different effects of electromagnetic waves reveal that change of field intensity, even milli tesla has various biological effects, investigation on electromagnetic effects can be done in very wide range. Amount of these effects on biomass, thymus, testis and therapeutic role of vitamin C in improvement of changes caused by electromagnetic field, have been studied
The group exposure to Electromagnetic field consist of 8 mice, which were exposed to electromagnetic waves with low frequency (ELF) (50Hz, 4Mt) for 15 days (4 hours per day), and the group that exposure to Electromagnetic field supplemented with vitamin C, contains 8 mice that were exposed to ELF (50Hz, 4Mt) for 15 days (4 hours per day) and 0.5 cc vitamin C were injected intraperitoneally 7 times
The results show electromagnetic waves lead a significant reduction in body weight and receive appropriate dose of vitamin C may have therapeutic role which reduce damages caused by 50 Hz/4 mT on Balb/C male adult mice
Summary
During last years, increased use of devices producing electromagnetic wave, has attracted researcher’s attention to possible effects of them on human health. Electromagnetic waves have different shapes, they are classified according to their frequencies and wavelength [1]. Effects of electromagnetic waves with low frequency (ELF) have been attracted researcher’s attention [2,3]. Thymus is behind of sternum between lungs, often it contains 2 parts. Each part of thymus is divided to smaller parts. Epithelial cells in thymus produce its hormones, possibly it incorporates in T lymphocyte evolution; its effect is not clear. Thymus will be smaller, but it incorporates in T cell evolution. Thymus produces many hormones like thymosin, thymic humoral factor, thymopoietin, mentioned hormones induce proliferation and differentiation of T cells. Some evidence reveals that thymus hormones can delay aging [6]
