Effects of Magnetic Field on the Electrophysiological Parameters of Soleus Muscle in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the effects of magnetic field (MF) on the resting membrane potential and action potential parameters of the Soleus muscle preparations in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Methods: Forty male wistar rats were used in this study. The rats were divided into four groups; Group I (control), Group II (control with magnetic field), group III (diabetic), group IV (diabetic with magnetic field). The diabetes was induced by a single intravenous injection of STZ (45 mg/kg) in citrate buffer to the jugular vein under the ketamine and xylazine anesthetic combination. Resting membrane potential (RMP), muscle action potential (MAP), depolarization and half-repolarization time, MAP integral, depolarization and repolarization rates were recorded by means of the conventional microelectrode technique. Results: When group III and IV compared to group I, a significant decrease was found in the RMP (p
