32 young men (20-30 years old) were divided into one sham exposed and one exposed group (each group n=16). The subjects were exposed to the magnetic field from 23:00 to 8:00 and blood samples were collected during each session at different time points (11:00, 17:00, 22:00, 01:00, 04:00, 06:00, and 08:00). Before the two experimental sessions there was a session for acclimatization (two weeks before the first experimental session; without exposure).
two persons exposed in the same room lying in wooden beds arranged parallel to each other; rooms for exposure and sham exposure 7 m apart; three 120 cm x 140 cm rectangular Helmholtz coils, spaced 80 cm apart, positioned at the level of the head, groin and ankles at each bed; coils wrapped in wood
