Effects of Low Electromagnetic Waves on Spleen, Liver and Kidney Sizes and Therapeutic Role of Vitamin C in Mice

Recently, increasing use of electronic devices, which generate electromagnetic fields, focused researchers' attention on investigating the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields on, weight of spleen and weight of liver and kidney and role of Vitamin C in the mice.In this experimental study, 24 adult male mice (Balb/C) were divided into 3 groups. The control group consist of 8 mice were kept in normal conditions. The group exposure to electromagnetic field consist of 8 mice, which were exposed to electromagnetic low field (ELF) (50Hz, 4Mt) for 15 days, and the group that exposure to electromagnetic field supplemented with vitamin C, contains 8 mice that were exposed to ELF (50Hz, 4Mt) for 15 days and vitamin C were injected intraperitoneally 7 times. After 15 days, the weight of mice were measured, then this samples were dissected, finally spleen, liver and kidney was removed to measure. Data was analyzed using one way ANOVA test. The results show electromagnetic fields leads a significant reduction in weight of spleen and weight of liver and appropriate dose of vitamin C is a treatment that damage is caused by electromagnetic fields with a frequency of 50 Hz decreases.
