Topic:Magnetic Fields
Magnetic fields and horses encompass the study of how magnetic fields, both natural and artificial, interact with equine physiology and behavior. Research in this area investigates the potential effects of magnetic fields on horses, including their influence on cellular processes, blood flow, and overall well-being. Studies may also explore the use of magnetic therapy devices, such as magnetic blankets or boots, which are designed to enhance recovery or alleviate discomfort in horses. This topic compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that examine the mechanisms, applications, and observed outcomes of magnetic field exposure in equine subjects.
The influence of static magnetic fields on canine and equine mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the proliferation rate and morphological changes of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells of canine and equine origin (Eq- and CaAdMSC). Investigated cells were exposed to a static magnetic field (MF) with the intensity of 0.5 T. Proliferation activity of cells was determined with the Alamar Blue assay. Obtained results, normalized in respect to the control culture, showed that EqAdMSC exposed to MF maintained a high proliferation status, whereas proliferation activity of CaAdMSC cultured in the presence of MF was decreased. Estimations of population doub...
Influence of magnetic field on aqueous two-phase extraction of horse ferritin in the polyethylene glycol/hydroxyethyl starch system. The presented experiments show the model of expectation of equine spleen ferritin extraction in a new aqueous two-phase system which was formed by mixing polyethylene glycol (PEG) and hydroxyethyl starch (HES). The tendency of the protein to migrate in the analyzed systems was dependent on the concentrations of HES and PEG as well as PEG molecular weight. The highest concentration of ferritin in the top phase (rich in PEG) was recorded in the system composed of 6% PEG 3000 and 3% HES. The obtained concentration was 0.88 mg mL(-1). The lowest concentration was 0.42 mg mL(-1) in the system compo...
