sBE exposure does not increase stress hormones in nondiabetic or diabetic mice. (Left): plasma corticosterone levels measured from wild-type mice on a normal chow diet (WT, 4-h fasted), high-fat diet-fed mice (HFD, 16-h fasted), and leptin receptor deficient mice on a normal chow diet (db/db, 16-h fasted). (Right): urine catecholamine levels measured from WT (4-h fasted) and HFD mice (nonfasted). Mice were continuously exposed to sBE for the following durations: 5.5 mo (WT), 3 days (HFD), and 30 days (db/db). *P < 0.05. sBE, static magnetic and electric fields.
