Effect of magnetic field and separate poles on NADH-methemoglobin reductase system

Of south and/or north poles [1000 Gauss] on erythrocyte metabolism of ketotic patients who possessed high methemoglobin percent were studied. Subjecting the South Pole to the sample leads to increase the activity of this system and consequently decrease the percent of Met-Hb. This increase is attributed to the enhancement of electron transport through the system. The same effect was observed, but to a lesser extent when the sample was subjected to both the north and south poles. While an inhibitory effect was noticed with the North Pole facing the sample. These results are due to the effect of south and/or North Pole static fields on the kinetics of these metalloenzymes that contain transition metals of paramagnetic properties

effect of steady magnetic fields on the ionic contents of mosquito larvae [culex pipiens]

The effect of steady magnetic fields of different strength and orientation, on the ionic contents of Mosquito Larvae [Culex Pipiens] was studied. The data indicate that the Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe and Cl content of the whole insects are under the controlled magnetic field, is highly affected by both the distribution of magnetic lines of force and the strength of the field

Effect of different magnetic fields on hemoglobin

The effect of static magnetic fields from south and/or north poles [1000 Gauss], on the absorption spectrum, hemoglobin pattern, the thermodynamic parameters and the hemoglobin active sites were studied. The same magnetic field effects were carried out on hemoglobin of different ligands. Subjecting, or facing the samples to the south pole of the permanent magnet leads to the elevation of globin-heme and heme-heme interactions concomitant with a drop in the amount of methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin. Moreover, when this same pole faces carboxyhemoglobin a cleavage to hemoglobin and free carbon monoxide was detected. These parameters were less pronounced on applying both the north and south poles around the sample. Facing the sample to north pole of the magnet reversed the effect. In this case the entropy and enthalpy were increased. Moreover, the salt bridge which fixed the carbon terminals of the Hb submits was affected leading to partial dissociation to dimer and monomer
