The effects of 1 mT and 5 mT static magnetic fields on platelet aggregation

Abstract

Aim: Numerous studies have been conducted on the biological effects of static magnetic fields, reporting effects on various cell types and functions. The aim of this study is to investigate the biological effects of 1 mT and 5 mT static magnetic fields using platelet aggregation. Materials and Methods: Blood samples taken from 18 healthy volunteers were anti-coagulated with citrate or with heparin. The platelet rich plasma obtained from the anti-coagulated whole blood was divided into four equal parts. Two were exposed to 1 mT or 5 mT static magnetic fields produced by a Helmholtz coil for 1 hour; the remaining two were assigned as control groups. Both groups were simultaneously studied with a 4-channel optical aggregometer. ADP (2-4 μM), Collagen (38-95 μg/ml) and Epinephrine (10 μM) were used to induce platelet aggregation. The slopes, maximum values, and lag times for the aggregation curves for the control samples and the exposure groups were compared. Results: No statistically significant differences were observed for any of the four groups formed: 1 mT-citrate (n=5), 5 mT-citrate (n=5), 1 mT-heparin (n=5), 5 mT-heparin (n=5). Conclusion: 1-hour, 1 mT or 5 mT static magnetic field exposures have no effect on the platelet aggregation.
