The Effect of Combined Static and Alternating Low-Frequency Magnetic Fields on the Respiratory Burst Intensity in Mouse Neutrophils Depending on the Magnitude of the Variable Field Component

The effect of weak combined magnetic fields (CMF): a static magnetic field (60 µT) and a collinear alternating magnetic field at a frequency of 12.6 Hz with amplitudes in the range of 10–2500 nT on the intensity of the respiratory burst in a suspension of mouse neutrophils in response to an activator – the N-formyl–Met–Leu–Phe peptide, recorded by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence was studied. It was shown that a 40-minute exposure to combined magnetic fields preceding the introduction of the activator enhances the respiratory burst in the range of alternating field amplitudes of 40–265 nT.
