Abstract

Overview

Oxidative stress is characterized by an excessive concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to imbalances in the production and removal by antioxidant systems. This preliminary study evaluates the impact of a rotating magnetic field (RMF) on the antioxidant capacity in healthy volunteers.

Methodology

The study involved 30 healthy volunteers, divided into different exposure times and frequencies to RMF. Various biomarkers like total antioxidant capacity (TAC), reactive oxygen species modulator (ROMO1), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured.

Findings

  • Magnetic fields reduced oxidative stress markers significantly.
  • Experimental settings varied from 1 hour at 25 Hz to 3 hours at 50 Hz of RMF exposure.
  • Significant changes in SOD, MDA, TAC, and ROMO1 were recorded, with some configurations showing better protective effects against oxidative stress.

Conclusion

The study delineates optimal RMF exposure settings for minimizing oxidative stress, providing a groundwork for further research into therapeutic applications of RMF in stress management.
