This animal study reports that terahertz electromagnetic irradiation at nitric oxide (NO)-related frequencies (150.176150.664 GHz) corrected peripheral microcirculatory disturbances in albino rats experiencing acute immobilization stress. The abstract frames the effect as a correction of stress-related peripheral…

Jan 1, 2011
This animal study examined whether an extremely low frequency magnetic field (7 mT, 40 Hz) used in magnetotherapy alters oxidative balance in rat brain after 10 days of exposure. The 30 min/day exposure condition was associated with increased lipid peroxidation, while the 60 min/day condition was associated with…

This study investigated how exposure to a static magnetic field affects electricity production in Shewanella-inoculated microbial fuel cells across different reactor configurations. A 100 mT field was reported to increase maximum voltage and the effect was described as immediate and reversible, with possible adverse…

Jan 1, 2010
This neutron diffraction study quantifies how tetragonal structural domains in SrTiO3 redistribute below 105 K under external electric fields and uniaxial mechanical stress. The authors report that electric field and stress act competitively, and that applying both produces complex domain redistribution. The results…
Electric field induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions: new insights from WAXS, SEM, leak current, dielectric permittivity, and rheometry.

Jan 1, 2010
This laboratory/engineering study examined electric-field-induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions using WAXS, SEM, rheometry, and electrical measurements. Particle orientation was quantified via an orientational order parameter derived from diffraction peak azimuthal changes, and chain versus column formation was…
900 MHz radiofrequency-induced histopathologic changes and oxidative stress in rat endometrium: protection by vitamins E and C.

Jan 1, 2007
This rat study examined 900 MHz radiofrequency exposure (30 min/day for 30 days) and reported biochemical and histopathologic changes in endometrial tissue consistent with oxidative stress and tissue injury. The abstract reports increased NO and MDA and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px) in…
Biological effects of extremely low frequency electric and magnetic fields: a review
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 1977
This review summarizes reported biological effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields, describing them as significant and often acting as stressors. Reported outcomes include metabolic, hormonal, and body weight changes in rodents, lethality at high exposure levels in mice and insects, and…
Evaluation of Electrochemical Information Transfer System: I . Effect of Electric Fields on Living Organisms
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 1976
This 1976 animal study evaluated the effects of weak ELF electric fields similar to those associated with Project Seafarer on mice. The abstract reports that electric field exposure acted as a biological stressor, with effects involving the central nervous and endocrine systems. It is presented as part of broader…
