SENSITIVITY OF RATS BLOOD CELLS AND EPIDIDYMAL SPERMATOZOA TO LOW FREQUENCY MAGNETIC FIELDS (50 Hz)

The article discusses the data on the long-time effect of low frequency magnetic fields (IF MF 50 Hz, 0.4 mT, 4h/day, 5 days/week, 26 days) on blood cells and spermatozoa of Wistar rats. It was determined that at different times after exposure (3th, 15th and 30th days) the changes in different quantitative and qualitative indicators of test cells were revealed, some of which are kept in 30 days after exposure.
