60 Hz (PEMF) exposure to mice and analysis of wound healing |
Details |
|
Db/db (diabetic) and C57BL6 (streptozocin-induced diabetic and control) mice (n = 66) were wounded and exposed to 60 Hz pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). The authors report an increased rate of wound closure in both diabetic and normal mice, decreased tissue necrosis following an ischemic insult, and increased expression and release of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 in exposed umbilical vein endothelial cells which correlated with decreased necrosis. PEMF exposure also correlated with oxygen tensions and vascularity values that were similar to those seen in normal animals. |
