[A permanent magnetic field alters the phospholipase activity in the snake venom from Vipera lebetina].
It was found that at the exposure of Vipera lebetina snakes (during 10 days for 30 min daily) to SMF (0.15 T1) the specific activity of venom phospholipase A1, A2 and phosphodiesterase C increased by 20.6 +/- 2.8; 31.7 +/- 3.2 and 32.7 +/- 1.3% correspondingly. The above mentioned changes of venom enzyme activity were accompanied with the decrease of its total protein amount by 31.6 +/- 2.2%. It could be supposed that the described changes are able to cause significant changes in the total metabolic activity of cells and the organism as a whole.
