The effect of alternating magnetic fields of various voltages and exposures on the metabolism of carbohydrates, macroergic phosphates, and low molecular nitrogen compounds in the rat heart was investigated. The direction and degree of metabolic disturbances in the myocardium after exposure to industrial frequency alternating magnetic fields depend on the voltage of the field and the length of exposure. An alternating magnetic field with a voltage of 32 kA/m delays oxidation and phosphorylation processes without affecting their coupling, and the proportion of oxidized carbohydrates increases as compared with fatty acids. The conversion of carbohydrates and of nitrogen substances are stimulated by an alternating magnetic field with a voltage of 7.5 kA/m.
