Effect of a strong magnetostatic field on proliferation of duodenal epithelial cells in mice.
The proliferative activity of duodenal epithelial cells in mice subjected to the effect of a 1000-Oe magnetostatic field (MSF) was studied. It was established that the one-day effect of a strong MSF causes transient disturbance of cell division processes. This is indicated by changes in the mitotic index and content of cells in the duodenal crypt, and also by the increase in the number of pathological forms of mitoses with a predominance of chromosomal damages.
