🧲 Indonesian mouse study: 50–200 Hz alternating magnetic fields shift blood and organ markers in diabetic mice
A study by Tirono and Samsu Hananto in the Avicenna Journal of Medical Biotechnology exposed diabetic mice to alternating magnetic fields at 50, 100, 150 and 200 Hz with magnetic flux densities of 0.3 and 0.6 mT for 20 minutes a day over five days. The largest blood-glucose reduction (92.11%) appeared at 100 Hz and 0.6 mT, and the largest hemoglobin increase (81.11%) at 150 Hz and 0.3 mT.
Cholesterol, blood viscosity, erythrocyte count, and kidney and heart cell density showed non-linear changes across the tested combinations. The authors conclude that optimal effects do not always occur at the same frequency or flux density, and frame the exposure as a possible alternative to long-term chemical diabetes drugs.
"In recent years, the number of adults aged 20-79 years living with diabetes has increased more than threefold."
"The treatment involved exposure to an alternating Magnetic Field with Magnetic Flux Densities of 0.3 and 0.6 mT for 20 min/day over five consecutive days. The frequencies of the applied Magnetic Fields were 50, 100, 150, and 200 Hz."
"The results showed that the greatest reduction in blood glucose levels (92.11%) was observed at a frequency of 100 Hz and an Magnetic Flux Density of 0.6 mT."
"The optimal effects of magnetic field exposure do not always occur at the same frequency or Magnetic Flux Density."
