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…

This rat study examined chronic extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure and diaphragm muscle function and structure. Rats were exposed to 50 Hz, 1.5 mT for 4 hours daily for up to 7 months and assessed with electrophysiological, biochemical, and electron-microscopy measures. The authors…

Jan 1, 2013
This animal study examined in vivo and in vitro effects of weak, low-frequency magnetic fields described as having resonance parameters for calcium ions. The authors report a considerable decrease in activity of calcium-dependent proteinases (calpains) in fish skeletal muscle and brain following exposure. The…
