In this study, fifty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups according to the static magnetic field (SMF) intensity, namely, control, low-intensity, moderate-intensity, and high-intensity groups. The rats' whole body was exposed to a superconducting magnet exposure source. The exposure SMF intensity for the low-intensity, moderate-intensity, and high-intensity groups was 50 m T, 100 m T, and 200 m T, respectively, and the exposure time was 1 h/day for consecutive 15 days. After different exposure times, glucose metabolism in rats' brain was evaluated by micro-positron emission tomography (micro-PET), and the expression of hexokinase 1(HK1) and 6-phosphate fructokinase-1(PFK1) was detected by western blot. The exploration and locomotion abilities of the rats were evaluated by conducting open field test (OFT). Furthermore, pathological changes of rats' brain were observed under a microscope by using hematoxylin-eosin staining. PET results showed that moderate-intensity SMFs could cause fluctuant changes in glucose metabolism in rats' brain and the abnormalities were SMF intensity dependent. The expression of the two rate-limiting enzymes HK1 and PFK1 in glucose metabolism in brain significantly decreased after SMF exposure. The OFT showed that the total distance, surrounding distance, activity time, and climbing and standing times significantly decreased after SMF exposure. The main pathological changes in the brain were pyknosis, edema of neurons, and slight widening of the perivascular space, which occurred after 15 times of exposure. This study indicated that SMF exposure could lead to abnormal glucose metabolism in the brain and might result in anxiety-like behaviors.

D008297 Male Males
D010732 Phosphofructokinase-1 An allosteric enzyme that regulates glycolysis by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to fructose-6-phosphate to yield fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. D-tagatose- 6-phosphate and sedoheptulose-7-phosphate also are acceptors. UTP, CTP, and ITP also are donors. In human phosphofructokinase-1, three types of subunits have been identified. They are PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, MUSCLE TYPE; PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, LIVER TYPE; and PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, TYPE C; found in platelets, brain, and other tissues. 6-Phosphofructokinase,6-Phosphofructo-1-kinase,Fructose-6-P 1-Kinase,Fructose-6-phosphate 1-Phosphotransferase,6 Phosphofructokinase,Phosphofructokinase 1
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D005947 Glucose A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement. Dextrose,Anhydrous Dextrose,D-Glucose,Glucose Monohydrate,Glucose, (DL)-Isomer,Glucose, (alpha-D)-Isomer,Glucose, (beta-D)-Isomer,D Glucose,Dextrose, Anhydrous,Monohydrate, Glucose
D006593 Hexokinase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and a D-hexose to ADP and a D-hexose 6-phosphate. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, sorbitol, and D-glucosamine can act as acceptors; ITP and dATP can act as donors. The liver isoenzyme has sometimes been called glucokinase. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.1.1. Hexokinase A,Hexokinase D,Hexokinase II
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D017208 Rats, Wistar A strain of albino rat developed at the Wistar Institute that has spread widely at other institutions. This has markedly diluted the original strain. Wistar Rat,Rat, Wistar,Wistar Rats
D049268 Positron-Emission Tomography An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower.
