SMF of strong intensity with an extremely high magnetic gradient (B

/m) could induce some bioeffects on paramagnetic Hb by magnetic attraction

in a high gradient or diamagnetic Hb by magnetic repulsion in a high gradient, retarding the mean

blood velocity in peripheral circulation, partly due to the asymmetric distribution of RBCs with dif-

ferent m
