The dehydration effect is suggested as a mechanism of anesthetic action of magnetic fields. After half an hour of in vivo exposure in constant magnetic field of white male rats to SMF 0.2 T the dehydration of brain, kidney and liver tissues were detected, the decrease of ouabain binding in 5.10(-9) M concentration was detected in brain, heart, spleen and liver tissues and it was increased in kidney tissue. With prolongation of the exposure time the dehydration of the whole organism was observed.

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

D000758	Anesthesia	A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.
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.
