The influence of Wi-Fi on the mesonephros in the 9-day-old chicken embryo

This animal study examined continual 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi exposure (200–500 μW/m²) during 9 days of chicken embryo incubation and assessed the mesonephros at day 9. The authors report no adverse effects on general mesonephros development, but describe moderate degenerative changes and vascular congestion without…

Cardiac function in Vimba vimba embryos under electromagnetic exposure at hatchery-relevant intensities.

This animal study examined 50 Hz electromagnetic exposure dominated by a measured magnetic component (~11.15 µT) on cardiac function in Vimba vimba embryos. Using two experimental series, the authors report significant increases in embryonic heart rate with EMF exposure during incubation and during observation. The…

Vitamin C and Vitamin E Protected B and Balb/c-3T3 Cells from Apoptosis Induced by Intermittent 50Hz ELF-EMF Radiation.

This in vitro study exposed B cells and Balb/c-3T3 cells to intermittent 50 Hz power-line ELF-EMF and assessed apoptosis. The authors report that preincubation with vitamin C or vitamin E reduced apoptosis compared with the exposed group. They conclude that vitamins C and E have protective effects, with stronger…

[A preliminary study on role of acid sphingomyelinase in receptor clustering induced by 50-Hz magnetic fields].

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…
