Acute Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields Resulting from Significant Frequencies of High and Low Triangular Waves on White Blood Cells

The study of the effects of electromagnetic fields on biological systems have started in recent years and have had significant impacts and outputs which requires ample paying and further research, especially in therapy field. In this study, the effects of electromagnetic fields caused by low-frequency triangular wave (10 Hz) and high frequency (110 Khz) with 700 milli Gauss intensity on white blood cells of rats was comparatively studied. For this purpose 30 male Wistar rats were selected and divided into three groups of ten. The first group was under high frequency field (110 Khz) for two days and each time for two hours and the second group were under similar low frequency (10 Hz) but the third group (control) werenʹt exposed to any field. Then each of those group members was bled from their hearts and their blood samples were analyzed based on their approximate white cell numbers. The results of the study were compared using t-test and it showed that the total white blood cell counts in both groups were not statistically different. Differentiation in counting the number of neutrophils were not also statistically different but reduction in the number of lymphocytes was observed in high frequencies and also increase in the number of Eosinophils in high frequencies and decrease in low frequencies as well as an increase in monocytes in lower frequencies was meaningful. According to the result of this research and activities conducted by others, the effects of electromagnetic fields on blood factors including white blood cells were significant and provide a suitable ground for research and extensive field of therapeutic applications in this sector.
