Abstract
Male and female mice were continuously exposed to an extremely intense electrostatic field for approximately 5000 h before they were sacrificed for tests. The progenies resulting from breeding the various couples were also subjected to the same field. Data concerning various biological parameters such as water consumption, body weight, rate of growth, number of progenies, blood count and chemistry, proteins, and organ histology are analyzed and compared with the results obtained from the control animals.
