Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Changes of malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in blood platelets exposed to the electromagnetic field with regard to changes in exposure time and application of melatonin (MLT) (n=30). Variables were compared between groups using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U-test. P-values below 0.05 were regarded as significant

Figure 2

Enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) in blood platelets exposed to the electromagnetic field with regard to exposure time and application of melatonin (MLT) (n=30). Variables were compared between groups using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U-test. P-values below 0.05 were regarded as significant
