Assessment of Genotoxic and Cytotoxic Hazards in Brain and Bone Marrow Cells of Newborn Rats Exposed to Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Field

Table 1

The levels of MDA ( 𝜇 mol/L), GSH (mg/dl) and SOD (U/g tissue) in the brain of control newborn rats and those exposed to 50 Hz 0.5 mT MF for 30 days 24 h/day. Each value was expressed as mean of 10 rats ± standard error.
