Electrokinetic properties of healthy and β-thalassemia erythrocyte membranes under in vitro exposure to static magnetic field.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The current understanding of the biological impacts of a static magnetic field (SMF) is restricted to the direct interactions of the magnetic field with biological membranes. The electrokinetic (zeta) potential is an electrochemical property of erythrocyte surfaces which was negatively charged in physiological media after SMF exposure (0.1‒2.0 T). Methods: The novel data about electrokinetic parameters of the erythrocytes is determined by microelectrophoresis after SMF-exposure in norm and heterozygous β-thalassemia. The methods of light scattering, lipid peroxidation, fluorescence microscopy are used. Results: The electrokinetic potential of erythrocytes in norm is increased after SMF intensities due to enhanced negatively exposed charges on the outer su
