This rat study examined whether selenium supplementation modifies antioxidant-related changes associated with sub-acute static magnetic field exposure. The authors report that SMF exposure altered tissue selenium levels and antioxidant enzyme activities in a tissue-specific manner, including decreased selenium and…

This experimental and modeling study examined pulsed electric field (PEF) permeabilization in several fruit and vegetable tissues at 293 K using 1000 μs pulses and field strengths of 400 and 1000 V·cm(-1). While electroporation theory predicts greater damage in tissues with larger cells, the authors report this…

This experimental study examined how pulsed electric field (PEF) processing parameters affect cell membrane rupture in onion tissue disks, using ion leakage as the primary integrity measure. Disintegration efficiency increased with field strength up to 500 V/cm and varied with pulse width, pulse number, and…

This experimental study examined how pulsed electric fields affect onion tissue integrity and texture across different field strengths and pulse counts. It reports distinct critical field strengths for plasma membrane versus tonoplast membrane breakdown, with higher thresholds needed for tonoplast disruption. Effects…

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…
