Jan 1, 2024
This pilot animal study examined ELF-EMF exposure (0.1 or 1.0 mT, 1 h/day up to 5 weeks) in sedentary adult male C57BL/6 mice, with or without N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) supplementation. The authors report a transient increase in muscle strength after 2 weeks at 1.0 mT, accompanied by higher PAX7 and myosin heavy chain…
Bidirectional Effect of Repeated Exposure to Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Field (50 Hz) of 1 and 7 mT on Oxidative/Antioxidative Status in Rat's Brain: The Prediction for the Vulnerability to Diseases.

Jan 1, 2022
This rat study examined repeated 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure (1 or 7 mT) and measured oxidative stress and antioxidant defense markers in the prefrontal cortex, including responses to a subsequent open-field stressor. The authors report intensity- and repetition-dependent effects: 1 mT produced weak changes and was…

Jan 1, 2018
This study evaluated ELF-EMF magnetotherapy as an adjunct to post-acute ischemic stroke rehabilitation in 57 patients, comparing those who received ELF-EMF therapy with those who did not. The authors report that oxidative stress markers (TBARS, thiol, and carbonyl groups) decreased more in the ELF-EMF group than in…

Jan 1, 2014
This animal study exposed rats of different early-life ages to 950 MHz UHF electromagnetic radiation for 30 minutes per day (SAR 1.0–1.3 W/kg) across gestation and/or early postnatal periods. The authors report no evidence of oxidative stress by TBARS or protein carbonyls, but report changes in fatty acid…
Assessing of plasma protein denaturation induced by exposure to cadmium, electromagnetic fields and their combined actions on rat.

Jan 1, 2014
This animal study examined whether cadmium, EMF exposure, or their combination affects oxidative damage and protein structure in rat plasma. The authors report increased oxidative protein damage markers and changes in protein-related measures after cadmium and/or EMF exposure. Effects were described as more…
