Influence of magnetic field on hemorheologic properties in rabbits / 中国医学物理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Rabbit blood samples were exposed to constant magnetic field within a range of intensity from 0.05 T to 0.35 T for 10 to 50 minutes, the propersities of hemorheology were measured by ektacytometry. The following results were obtained The blood viscosity was lowed;The RBCs deformability was not changed obviously except for 10 minutes of exposure when the RBC＇s deformability was strongly decreased; The orientation index was increased; The results indicate that the magnetic field increases the RBC surface charge and results in the decrease of blood viscosity.
