Changes in viability of rat adipose-derived stem cells isolated from abdominal/perinuclear adipose tissue stimulated with pulsed electromagnetic field.
This in vitro study exposed rat adipose-derived stem cells to a pulsed electromagnetic field (7 Hz, 30 mT) and assessed viability by flow cytometry. The authors report that a low-fat diet was protective in PEMF-exposed ADSCs, especially in pups. They also report a higher proportion of early apoptotic cells in PEMF-treated ADSCs from adult female rats on a high-fat diet compared with other groups.
Key points
- The study tested low-frequency PEMF exposure (7 Hz, 30 mT) on rat adipose-derived stem cells in vitro.
- Cells were exposed three times for 4 hours each, with 24-hour intervals between exposures.
- Viability-related parameters were assessed 24 hours after the final exposure using flow cytometry.
- Diet appeared to modify the response, with low-fat diet reported as protective in PEMF-exposed ADSCs.
- An increased proportion of early apoptotic cells was reported in PEMF-treated ADSCs from adult female rats on a high-fat diet.
- The abstract suggests effects vary by age and sex groups (pups vs adults; male vs female).
