HetKO-GAA mice fed either diet did not have altered body weight, glucose tolerance, insulin action, energy expenditure, substrate metabolism, liver glucose output, or liver triglycerides compared to control wildtype mice.

The current density of outward current in the presence of TEA was not different between the two groups, indicating that magnetic field affects TEA-sensitive Kv channels. To further explore these changes, RNA sequencing was performed on samples from both the Sham and 18-h magnet-exposed groups, identifying 37 moderate SMF-sensitive genes. Changes in mRNA expression levels and KEGG analysis suggested that pathways involved in the inhibition of neuronal excitability, such as GABAB receptor activation and Kir3 channel opening, may be more likely to be activated.
