Summary:
This in vitro study investigated the effects of static magnetic fields on the development of rats’ muscle cells. Cells were exposed to static magnetic fields (60-400 mT) created by a permanent magnet. The authors found that exposure to static magnetic fields at a few times the strength of the earth’s magnetic field can have a stimulating effect on proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells and increase in intracellular calcium concentration.
