title: Magnetostatic field effect: stress syndrome pattern and functional relation with intensity.
abstract: The stressing action of a medium-intensity, magnetostatic field was studied for several levels of intensity. Our purpose was to verify a stressing action by display of the general adaptation syndrome pattern on the growth rate of mice and to establish the relation between effect and field intensity on the same variable. Eight groups of mice showed a linear relation. Moreover, stressing action was noticed at lower intensities than previously suggested.
