The combination of weak steady-state and weak low-frequency alternating magnetic fields activates SOD in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells and catalase in liver cells by 3.7 and 1.3 times, respectively (p<0.05), which can result from enhanced production of ROS induced by combined exposure to magnetic fields with the specified parameters.
