Popis: Background and Objectives: Despite widespread use of electromagnetic field (EMF) generator devices in everyday life, their effects on biological tissues are still controversial. In the present study, the effects of EMF on the mouse liver were studied.Methods: Thirty female balb/c mice were randomly divided into three groups: 1- EMF-exposed, 2-Sham, and 3-Control. EMF group was exposed to 50 Hz & 0.5 mT EMF 4 hours daily for 2 months while the animals in sham group were placed in EMF device without exposure. At the end of 2-month period, all animals were anesthetized and their livers were removed. After preparation of microscopic slides, the panoramic view of liver, the number of Kupffer and necrotic cells were determined using ‘Image Tool’ software. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Dunnett's tests. p
