Abstract

Exposure of heparinized human venous blood that was diluted with a phosphate buffer to a combination of a static magnetic field (42 µT) and a weak (amplitude range 108–3440 nT) variable low-frequency (1, 4.4, and 16.5 Hz, ratio of amplitudes 6: 1: 1.6, respectively) magnetic field collinear to the static magnetic field enhanced blood chemiluminescence that was induced by the addition of luminol or lucigenin at physiological temperature. The free-radical scavenger edaravone (MCI-186) and apocynin, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, reduced the intensity of blood chemiluminescence and alleviated the effects of the magnetic fields.
