The Stimulative Effect of 3, 000 Volts Alternating Current on the Collagen Synthesis of False Aging Model Rats

「INTRODUCTION」 There are several reports related to the effects of high voltage alternating current (AC). Hara and Suzuki reported that rat body weight was increased in high voltage alternating current environment1,2). They related this to the normal charges on inorganic ions from extracellular and intracellular fluids or from increased polarization of proteins. Hara and Hashimoto reported the calcium ion concentration in serum was increased and the blood pH was shifted towards alkaline in the high voltage AC group2,3). Hashimoto reported that periosteal circulation and periosteal vascularization were increased due to high voltage AC3). Into also investigated the effects of high voltage AC, researching blood pressure, internal secretion and lipids in serum4). In this study, we investigated the stimulating effects of 3,000 volts AC on collagen synthesis of false age model rats. 「MATERIALS AND METHODS」 I.
