Comparison study between the effect of static and alternating magnetic field on Erythrocytes aggregation

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study is to show the effect of static and alternating magnetic field on erythrocytes aggregation rate and size. A magnetic coil with iron core was constructed in order to give static magnetic field of intensity from 0.9 to 14 mT, and alternating magnetic field of intensity from 1.5 to 10 mT. The aggregation data are obtained by using online laser transmission technique which was built on the magnetic coil. The analysis shows that the erythrocytes aggregation rate index [EARl] and erythrocytes aggregation size index [EASI] were altered by the magnetic field. There are a strong correlation between the values of static and alternating magnetic field with both EARl and EAST
