Abstract
We examined the effects of milli Gauss pursed magnetic field on phosphate buffeted saline solution (PBS) and pure water. Milli Gauss pursed magnetic field was generated by a Helmholz coil using a functional generator. A pursed magnetic field was applied on PBS in glass bottle 12 hrs prior to the assay of neutrophil phagocytic activity or the measurement of intracellular Ca2+ level. PBS exposed to the pursed magnetic field was found to markedly enhance the phagocytic activity of neutrophils. The intracellular Ca2+ level of neutrophils elevated immediately after exposure to the magnetized PBS. Here we show that milli Gauss level pursed magnetic field applied tonic water solution such as PBS alter its physico-chemical properties and the magnetized PBS exerts extraordinary biological effects.
