The effect of static magnetic field on bone mineral content in aging rats

Introduction: Aging is defined as a consequence of progressive accumulation metabolic waste, which results in development various disorders the structure and function cells over number years. It followed by loss bone tissue, where bones become less firm. The cycle remodeling with age becomes longer, degree mineralization decreases. Static magnetic fields (SMF) are stable that can be natural or artificial. Their moderate intensity (1mT-1T) affects physiological processes, cells, genetic material, behavior development. So far, numerous studies have shown different effects static on cell cultures, experimental animals, human population. Aim: Aim this study was to determine effect field mineral content (BMC) values aging rats. Material methods: Male Wistar rats, 3 years old, were used experiment. A total 18 animals divided into two groups: exposed (experimental group) unexposed (control group). Nine from group 30mT for 10 weeks, while nine control rats not field. Bone measured DXA (Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry. Results: Based experiment, it found after exposure field, group, there statistically significant increase value BMC trunk region ribs region. In all other regions interest: head, legs, pelvic bone, spine, - no changes values. Conclusion: conducted higher SMF, compared
