Mice (Mus musculus), strain Swiss Webster, were exposed to anelectromagnetic field (12.8 V/m) continuously for a period of eightweeks. Blood smear for differentials (lymphocytes, neutrophils,eosinophils, monocytes, stabs, and nucleated red blood cells) andtissue samples of the target organs (the thymus and adrenal glands)were analyzed for signs of stress from the electromagnetic field(EMF). Hematology analysis showed that the immune response is genderspecific. Females suppressed the neutrophils while males suppressedthe lymphocytes when exposed to the EMF. Histology analysis showedthat there were gender differences with regards to the lesions in thethymus and adrenal glands. Females were adrenal sensitive, whilemales were thymus sensitive.
