| Abstract(in English) | The effect of ELF electric current stimulation on the phagocytosis of a macrophages which is one of the immunocytes was investigated. The parameters such as the duration of stimulation, the current density and the frequency of the current were varisd, and the effect on the phagocytosis was evaluated. The fluorescent latex beads with 0.75μm diameter were fed to macrophages, and the degree of phagocytosis was deternined in fluorescent microscopy. As a result, the phagocytosis was suppressend by the electric current stimulation. The difference from the sham exposure case was statistically significant. The change in phagocytosis due to the variation of the above parameters was not statistically significant. The suppression of phagocytosis by electric current stimulation seems to be new findings. It may enable us to control the functions of macrophages. |
