Three groups were examined (n=20 per group): 1) exposure for 24 hours, 2) exposure for 72 hours and 3) exposure for 7 days. For every exposure group, a control group was (also n=20 per group) sham exposed for the same time span. The cockroaches were exposed together but examined individually.
cockroaches were placed in a cylindrical glass chamber (10 cm x 7.5 cm; volume 0.589 l) without movement restriction
Setup
magnetic field was generated by one coil with a diameter of 20 cm; maximum inhomogeneity was 10% inside the coil; temperature was monitored using thermocouples mounted under each exposure system
