The 200 Oe magnetic field of power frequency produces an essential effect on metabolism in the tissue of the testicles which are highly sensitive to this factor. A single effect of the field for 24 h results in an increase in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. 24-28 h after the cessation of the field action it lowers considerably as well as the cytochrome oxidase and hexokinase activities in mitochondria. The lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase activities increased in this case. Restoration of the initial level is marked on the 7th-14th days. Under repeated actions of the stimulation phase the enzymic activities under study (except the lactate dehydrogenase one) are decreased. The mentioned indices restore the initial level on the 14th-28th days. These changes correlates with dynamics of the testosterone level in the testicles and plasm.
