Análise dos efeitos das micro-ondas sobre os níveis séricos da fosfatase alcalina no reparo de fratura experimental do fêmur de ratos

Abstract

The Microwave can be defined as non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation used as an efficient means to generate deep heat with well-defined therapeutic effects on the soft tissues such as muscles and tendons, and little known about the metabolism of bone tissue. The present study aims to evaluate the osteoblastic activity in rats subjected to experimental fracture of the femur through the measurement of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase, which was conducted experimental fracture of the right femur of 30 rats Rattus norvegicus albinos, Rodentia mammalia males aged approximately twelve weeks and weighing between 200 and 300 grams and were randomly divided into two groups: Group Diathermy GD (N =15) and control group CG (N=15). Group animals were irradiated with microwave diathermy 2450 MHz in frequency and power between 50 and 60% of the maximum capacity of equipment for a period of 8 minutes at 07, 14 and 20 consecutive days and the control group also was manipulated, but without the machine emitter of microwave was turned on. By collecting blood analyzed serum levels of FA. It is concluded that there was no statistically significant difference in the level of alkaline phosphatase measured between groups at different times of the study (p = 0.613) with the parameters used for this sample
