Effect of a magnetic field on ascorbate system in mice.
The effect exerted on the ascorbate system due to the exposure of mice to the constant magnetic field associated with MRI methods has been examined. The mice were exposed to magnetic field 1.00 T strength for 0.2 h, 3 h, or 24 h. The ascorbyl free radical in tissues was measured in vitro, which in vivo corresponds to the level of ascorbic acid. Only in a group of mice where the ascorbyl free radical was measured 24 h following their exposure to magnetic field 1.00 T strength for 24 hours, was the level of free radical in tissues significantly decreased.
