Effect of ELF pulsed magnetic fields on survival of leukaemia-prone AKR mice.
In a previous experiment an increase in the survival time of leukaemia-prone AKR mice was observed by exposure to a 600 mT or 800 mT static magnetic field when the mice were at least 200 days old. In this experiment 200-day-old-mice were exposed to a 6 mT pulsed magnetic field (PMF) for 30 minutes a day, twice a week until death. The frequency of the field was 12 Hz or 460 Hz. The exposed mice died from leukaemia but had an increased survival time; the average increase was 14.25% compared to the controls. Both the frequencies gave similar results.
