Ultrastructural Study on Ultra-Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields and Transfer Factor Effects on Skin Ulcers

摘要

We determined the effect of 120Hz ultra low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF) onthe healing process of skin in 20 Wistar rats distributed in four groups in which chronic dermal ulcershad been produced. The first two groups received a dose of the transfer factor and interferon-beta(IFN-β) every 24 h during 12 days. The third group (positive control) received only electromagneticfield (ELF) sessions, and in the fourth group (negative control), no treatment was applied. Theelectromagnetic field was applied through a Helmholtz coils; 30 Gauss of intensity. Results shownhistological changes that improve the healing process in animals subjected to ELF together with thetransfer factor.
