RESUMEN
Liver cell necrosis was induced in rats by a galactosamine injection. Cell death was due to an increase of Ca++ intracellular levels and was also under the control of genes. Rats were then either exposed or not to a 6 mT 100 HZ pulsed magnetic field (PMF) and they either received or not methylsilane-triol injections. Animals were sacrificed twenty-seven hours after a galactosamine injection. On the one hand it appeared from transaminase levels that the PMF increased the number of animals which were sensitized to galactosamine but decreased transaminase levels. On the other hand PMF decreased the protective effect of MST against galactosamine. We may suggest that PMF should be considered as an additional cellular signal received through genes which would determine the evolution towards or against apoptosis according to the age of the cell itself but also the Ca++ intracellular level.

In a previous work a decrease in cholesterol and triglyceride plasma levels was observed in rats 24 hours after their exposure to a 12 Hz 6 mT pulsed magnetic field (PMF). This time, a study of intensity effects of a 12 Hz PMF for a sixty-minute exposure and of length of exposure for a 12 Hz 6 mT PMF took place. Non-linear effect-dose relationships were observed for the PMF intensity as well as for the length of exposure used. The highest decreases in cholesterol and triglyceride levels were obtained after to a sixty-minute exposure with 1.5 mT and 12 mT.
