ID Number		2001
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		50 Hz (ELF) exposure to rats and analysis of reproductive organs and hormones
Details		Wistar rats were exposed to 50 Hz magnetic field at 4.821 +/- 0.158 microT and evaluated for reproductive organ morphology and hormone levels. The authors report some significant (P < 0.05) decreases in reproductive organ weight (uterus, ovaries) and progesterone and 17-beta estradiol levels among the different groups, as well as consistent decreases in plasma catalase activity (but not of glutathione or malondialdehyde) after 3 months of exposure.
