Abstract
This review is aimed to summarize the experimental researches in the influences of Static Magnetic Field (SMF), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF), and Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) on laboratory rodent models reported by laboratory scientist, experimental technicians, physicians, veterinarians and other researchers. Past studies suggested that, the application of SMF, PEMF and RF-EMF on rodents were influences the body functions such as hypertension, musculoskeletal disorders, nerve functions, glucose and lipid metabolism, bone disorders, tissue growth, fertility, reproduction, growth. But on the other hand some harmful events have also been observed in number of investigation. So exposure to different types of magnetic field have dual effect on experimental rodents, where positive effect on whole body system are clearly carried out in SMF studies compare to PEMF, RF-EMF. In this, SMF of moderate intensity strength provide beneficial effect on alteration in metabolism of rodents. Further researches need to perform with moderate intensity SMF should provide suitable alternate therapy for metabolic disorders in future clinical trial.
