title: [Effects of distorted geomagnetic field on the functioning of systems supporting rat's bone matrix adaptation and metabolism in open field].
abstract: Physiological responses of rats to daily 30-minute exposure to distorted geomagnetic field (DGMF) over 3 and 7 days and their reaction to open field following the exposure were studied. Increases in blood 11-oxycorticosteroids (11-OCS) were observed equally after 3- and 7-day DGMF exposure, whereas adrenal 11-OCS was found increased only on DGMF day-3; neither adrenaline in the adrenals nor glycogen in the liver were affected. On DGMF day-7, activation of bone matrix demineralization manifested itself by increased phosphorus and decreased calcium in blood, and activation of acidic phosphatase in serum. Rats reacted to open field by increases in blood and hepatic 11-OCS, reduction in adrenaline in the adrenals and glycogen in the liver, increase in serum free oxyproline and acidic phosphatase activation, and inhibition of alkaline phosphatase. Seven-day DGMF heightened or aggravated the reaction to open field.
