Liver and spleen morphology, ceruloplasmin activity and iron content in serum of guinea pigs exposed to the magnetic field.
The chronic exposure of guinea pigs to the magnetic field of induction 0.005 T and 0.3 T cause the morphological changes of spleen and functional disturbances of liver (the histochemical analysis indicate on greater amount of glycogen in hepatocytes). Everyday 1-hour exposure determined the drop in ceruloplasmin activity and an unchanged iron content in the serum of tested animals.
