Electromagnetic fields regulate iron metabolism: From mechanisms to applications

This review synthesizes evidence that electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure is associated in the literature with changes in systemic and cellular iron metabolism, with reported effects varying by EMF parameters, exposure duration, and biological context. It proposes mechanistic pathways involving iron-containing…

Alternating current electromagnetic field exposure lessens intramyocellular lipid accumulation due to high-fat feeding via enhanced lipid metabolism in mice.

This mouse study tested whether alternating current electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure modifies muscle lipid accumulation during long-term high-fat feeding. Mice exposed to EMF (8 hours/day for 16 weeks; maximum 180 mT) while on a high-fat diet had lower intramyocellular lipid levels than high-fat diet controls.…

Characterizing the Binding of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme I Inhibitory Peptide to Human Hemoglobin: Influence of Electromagnetic Fields.

This in vitro study used spectroscopic and conductometry methods to examine binding between human hemoglobin and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory peptide, with and without electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. The authors report that EMF changed the Hb–ACEIP interaction and that binding was associated with…

Combined effects of electromagnetic field and low-level laser increase proliferation and alter the morphology of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

This in vitro study tested 50 Hz, 3 mT electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure and 808 nm low-level laser (LLL), alone and combined, on human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells from six donors. The authors report increased cell numbers after 7 days with EMF, greater increases with LLL, and the largest…
