| Research Abstract |
The cytokine-induced dysfunction of insulin-secreting cells is a mechanism of occurrence of diabetes. In this study, the effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields, to which one are exposed in daily life, on cytokine-induced dysfunction of insulin-secreting cells were investigated. The weak electromagnetic fields did not affect cytokine-induced dysfunction of insulin-secreting cells, and the strong electromagnetic fields, which are 50-100 times larger than that generated from home appliances, enhanced cytokine-induced dysfunction.
