Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of magnetic field on cellular activity of MC3T3-El cells. The celular activity was monitored by alkaline phosphatase and DNA synthetic activity in control, static magnetic field and pulsed electromagnetic field groups. A static magnetic field was applied to the cell by placing one, two, three, four, and five samarium-cobalt magnets above and below each cell plate for 24hours per day. A pulsed electromagnetic field with a frequency of 100 herz was applied for 10 hours per day. After 10 days of magnetic field exposure, there were increase of alkaline phosphatase activity in static magnetic field groups consisted of one, two and three magnetic groups, Alkaline phosphatase activities were not significantly increased in four and five magnetic groups, Application of pulsed electromagnetic field did not result in significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity compared to control. DNA synthetic activity in both static and pulsed electromagnetic field group were not significantly different from that in control group, The result of this study suggest that magnetic field could have effect on the metabolism of bone cells related to the cellular metabolic process,
