Modulation of the Effect of Pharmacological Agents by Weak and Extremely Weak Alternating Magnetic Fields on a Model of Regeneration of the Planarian Girardia tigrina

摘要

It was shown that combined magnetic fields containing a weak or extremely weak alternating component can significantly modulate (activate or inhibit) the effect of serotonin, melatonin, and retinoic acid on the regeneration rale of the planarian Girardia tigrina. The combined effect of magnetic fields and pharmacological agents can be used in medicine. In particular, one can expect that an increase in the biological efficiency of chemical agents upon simultaneous application of biotropic magnetic fields will allow reducing their concentration, thus lowering the probability of undesirable side effects.
