Exposure details   Effects of acute electromagnetic field exposure and movement restraint on antioxidant system in liver, heart, kidney and plasma of Wistar rats: A preliminary report. by Martinez-Samano J, Torres-Duran PV, Juarez-Oropeza MA, Elias-Vinas D, Verdugo-Diaz L published in: Int J Radiat Biol 2010; 86 (12): 1088 - 1094 General information: animals were divided into four groups: i) in movement restrained ii) in movement restrained + exposure to EMF iii) in movement unrestrained + exposure to EMF iv) control - no restrainment + no exposure Exposure 1: Main characteristics frequency: 60 Hz type of field: magnetic field signal form: sinusoidal Exposure setup exposure source/structure: Helmholtz coils exposure time pattern: continuous for 2 hr setup details: rats were restrained by confinement into a 18 cm long acrylic cylinder with an inner diameter of 7 cm; unrestained rats were placed in 47 cm x 25 cm x 21 cm acrylic cages; pair of circular Helmholtz coils with an inner diameter of 30 cm, consisting of 350 turns of 18-gauge copper wire, separated by 15 cm; coils lying on the upper and lower cage surfaces sham: sham exposure was performed Exposure parameters parameter: value: method: remark: magnetic flux density  2.4 mT  measured  -  Reference article Torres-Duran PV et al.
