Effect of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field on Blood Vessels of Adenohipohysis in Rat
نویسندگان
چکیده
Potential health risk of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field [ELF-EMF] exposure are of considerable public interest. In the present study we investigated the effect of three months exposure to ELF-EMF of frequency [50 Hz] and intensity [50 μT to 500 μT] to which humans can be exposed in their home and work environments on the blood vessels morphology and number in adenohypophysis of male Wistar rats. Results of histological and stereological analysis of five micrometer thick adenohypophysal slides showed increased number and volume of blood capillaries in adenohypophysis compared to corresponding controls what can indicate influence of these fields on microcirculation
