Thermoregulation in rodents exposed to high-intensity stationary magnetic fields.
Rectal temperatures were recorded in mice and rats during exposure to a stationary 7.55 Tesla (1 T = 10(4) Gauss) homogeneous magnetic field, and to magnetic field gradients ranging from 58.1 - 58.6 T/m. Contrary to observations reported recently by other investigators, no evidence was found for a change in the body temperature of rodents exposed to strong homogeneous or gradient magnetic fields.
