Effects of extremely low frequency magnetic field on oxidative balance in brain of rats.

This animal study examined whether an extremely low frequency magnetic field (7 mT, 40 Hz) used in magnetotherapy alters oxidative balance in rat brain after 10 days of exposure. The 30 min/day exposure condition was associated with increased lipid peroxidation, while the 60 min/day condition was associated with…

[A aquaporin 4 expression and effects in rat hippocampus after microwave radiation].

This rat study examined hippocampal aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expression after microwave exposure at 10, 30, or 100 mW/cm^2. The authors report increased AQP4 protein and gene expression after exposure, with recovery at lower power density but more persistent elevation at higher power density. They conclude that increased…

[Influence of electromagnetic radiation on raf kinase inhibitor protein and its related proteins of hippocampus].

This rat study examined hippocampal RKIP and related markers after exposure to high power microwaves (X-band and S-band) or an electromagnetic pulse. RKIP protein decreased at 6 hours post-exposure, with recovery by 1 day in the EMP group but more prolonged decreases (up to ~7 days) in the microwave groups.…

Proteomic analysis in human fibroblasts by continuous exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields.

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…
