Influence of Continuous Exposure of Static Magnetic Fields in Whole-body of Adjutant-Induced Arthritis in Rats

We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of static magnetic fields (SMF) on the whole-body of adjutant-induced arthritis (AA) in rats. SMF could increase rat tail skin temperatures and calories in the chronic stage as well as the acute stage of AA in rats through enhanced blood flow. These resu...

Summary:We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of static magnetic fields (SMF) on the whole-body of adjutant-induced arthritis (AA) in rats. SMF could increase rat tail skin temperatures and calories in the chronic stage as well as the acute stage of AA in rats through enhanced blood flow. These results suggest that SMF plays an important role in AA as an inhibitor of inflammation in the chronic stage, which indicates ischemic conditions with lower temperature relative to normal conditions, but as a promoter of inflammation in acute stages with higher temperature relative to normal conditions.
