This animal study exposed 40 adult male rats to a 10 Hz (4 mT) extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field for 1 hour daily for either 7 or 30 days. The authors report improved spatial memory after prolonged (30-day) exposure, alongside increased hippocampal BDNF levels. They also note a significant body weight…

This laboratory study examined how electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment affects biochemical and antioxidant-related components in tea samples, including flavonoid markers measured by HPLC. The abstract reports that 30-minute exposures generally increased several flavonoids compared with 60-minute exposures, with the…

This in vitro study evaluated whether a therapeutic extremely low-frequency EMF exposure (5 Hz, 0.4 mT) causes cytotoxic or genotoxic effects in a human mesenchymal stromal cell line. Cells were exposed for 20 minutes per day, three times per week, for two weeks and assessed for viability, proliferation, and…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) affect growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Bacterial cultures were exposed to sinusoidal homogeneous ELF-EMF at 2 or 4 mT, with frequencies of 20, 40, or 50 Hz, for 1–6 hours, and CFU were compared…

This in vitro study examined whether a 50 Hz sinusoidal magnetic field affects the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel RyR1. A 0.4 mT exposure for 30 minutes increased SR Ca2+ release rate and [(3)H]-ryanodine binding under NADH/NAD+ conditions. The authors also report increased NADH oxidation and…

Jan 1, 2009
This in vitro study exposed human amnion (FL) cells to a 50-Hz sinusoidal magnetic field (0.4 mT) for 15 minutes and assessed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) clustering. The authors report that magnetic field exposure induced EGFR clustering, and that this effect was blocked by imipramine, an acid…

Jan 1, 2007
This in vitro study examined whether continuous extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (3 Hz, 4 mT for 3 hours) alter protein expression in human fibroblast cells using proteomics. The authors report that some protein expressions differed between exposed and sham cells. They identify reduced expression (about…
