Abstract

Rabbits were exposed to steady state and sinusoidally modulated magnetic fields of several levels of flux density for varying periods of time up to 60 hr. In those cases in which neuropathology was found, the results were consistent with the presence of the endemic encephalitozoonosis common to American rabbit colonies. This is in contrast to the findings of other investigators who attributed the histopathology directly to the effects of the imposed magnetic fields.

1972, Physiology and Behavior
Squirrel monkeys were exposed to a steady state magnetic field of about 200 gauss. There were 10 exposure periods, 4 hr a day, for a total or 40 hr. Histological evaluation of the brains revealed no significant neuropathology. Urinary 17-hydroxycorticoids were significantly higher in the experimental animals than in the controls. This was the result of an initial transient elevation of the stress product early in the experimental period which subsided with continued magnetic field exposure.
