Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study were performed to investigate the effect of magnetic field exposure on semen characteristic and the weights of body, reproductive organs and liver, kidney and spleen in mice. In magnetic field exposure for 15 days, sperm concentrations and viability were significantly lower in magnetic field(15.7times10^{6} mell, 29.3%) than that in control group(25.1times10^{6} mell, 34.4%)(P＜0.05). The proportion of sperm abnormality were significantly increased in magnetic field exposure groups for 15 days than that in control group(P＜0.05). The exposure of magnetic field in mice didn’t affect the body and reproductive organ weight such as testis, epididymis, vasicular gland and coagulatin gland. The weight in liver and kidney were not affect in magnetic field exposure groups. However, the spleen weight were significantly higher(P＜0.05) in group exposed with than without magnetic field. This studies indicate the short or long term magnetic field exposure in mice were noxious effects on the sperm characteristics and spleen weight, but didn’t affect body, reproductive organs, and liver and kidney weight.
