All the living organisms originate, evolve and live under geomagnetic field (GMF, 20-70 mu T). With rapid development in science and technology, exposure to various static magnetic fields (SMFs) from natural and man-made sources remains a public environmental topic in consideration of its probable health risk for humans. Many animal studies related to health effect have demonstrated that SMF could improve bone formation and enhance bone healing. Moreover, most of the studies focused on local SMF generated by rod-type magnet. It was difficult to come to a conclusion that how SMF affected bone metabolism in mice. The present study employed hypomagnetic field (HyMF, 500nT), and moderate SMF (MMF, 0.2T) to systematically investigate the effects of SMF with continuous exposure on microstructure and mechanical properties of bone. Our results clearly indicated that 4-week MMF exposure did not affect bone biomechanical properties or bone microarchitecture, while HyMF significantly inhibited the growth of mice and elasticity of bone. Furthermore, mineral elements might mediate the biological effect of SMF.
