Histological Effect of Static Magnetic Fields on Testis and Epididymis in Male Mice

Background : Considerable attention is focused on effects of static magnetic field (SMF) and its increasing use in everyday life. Appliances and various equipments are sources of static magnetic fields with awide – range of technical characteristics. Objective: In this study we investigated the effect of (SMF) (750 G, 1500 G and 3000 G) on testis and epididymis duct in mice. Materials and Methods: Fifty BALB\C mice were selected and divided in to four groups (Control and 3 experimental), while control was not exposed to SMF, the experimental group was exposed to SMF (750 G, 1500 G and 3000 G) for 30 days. At the end of 30 days, the mice were weighted sacrificed dissected, after then the testis and epididymis were weighted separately and samples from testis and epididymis duct in all groups were taken and processed for light microscopic studies. Fifty microscopic fields from each group were randomly selected. The diameters and the
