Jan 1, 2025
This in vitro/in ovo study examined whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic stimulation (ELF-EMS; 13.5 mT at 10 and 60 Hz) activates angiogenic processes under homeostatic conditions. In human microvascular endothelial cells, ELF-EMS increased proliferation, migration/transmigration, and tube formation, with…

Jan 1, 2019
This in vitro study examined 60 Hz extremely low-frequency EMF exposure (0.8 mT) on CD4 T cells under Th9-polarizing conditions. The authors report increased Th9-associated responses including IL-9 secretion, transcription factor changes (including early GATA3), and increased STAT5/STAT6 phosphorylation alongside…

This in vitro study examined effects of a 6 mT, 60 Hz uniform ELF electromagnetic field on HeLa cells and primary IMR-90 fibroblasts. Single or repetitive exposure did not induce DNA damage or change viability, but continuous exposure over 168 hours was reported to increase proliferation in both cell types in a…

Jan 1, 2018
This laboratory study examined cation transport and intracellular ion levels in a yeast strain (K667) with controlled expression of the plant cation/H+ exchanger AtCAX5 under metallic stress and ELF magnetic-field exposure. Cultures exposed to 60 Hz, 0.1 mT sinusoidal or square-wave magnetic fields showed increased…

Jan 1, 2017
This animal study exposed Trichoplusia ni larvae to 60 Hz, 2.0 mT ELF-EMF for 24, 48, or 72 hours and assessed immune parameters and fertility. The abstract reports no effect on life cycle and fertility after 24 hours, but several immune-related measures changed after 48–72 hours, including reduced hemolymph protein…

Jan 1, 2015
This in vitro study exposed five microorganisms (including indoor isolates and reference strains) to an extremely low frequency magnetic field (60 Hz, 3 mT) for two hours. The authors report a statistically significant increase in colony counts in exposed samples versus controls, with stronger stimulation in nutrient…

Aug 13, 2014
This randomized animal experiment examined whether 60 Hz extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) exposure alters oxidative stress-related biomarkers in 75 Wistar rats. The authors report increased lipid peroxidation markers after both single and 14-day exposures, alongside changes in antioxidant-related…
Transient and steady-state magnetic fields induce increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the rat hindbrain.

Jan 1, 2011
This animal PET study examined whether a weak 60-Hz magnetic field alters brain glucose utilization in rats. The abstract reports increased FDG uptake in hindbrain voxels when a 2.5-G field was oriented orthogonally to the sagittal plane, but not when field direction varied randomly. Distinct activation effects were…
Biophoton emission of MDCK cell with hydrogen peroxide and 60 Hz AC magnetic field.

Jan 1, 2007
This in vitro study measured biophoton/chemiluminescence emission from MDCK cells after inducing reactive oxygen species with hydrogen peroxide. The authors report that photon emission increased with hydrogen peroxide dose and that photomultiplier tube measurements agreed with fluorescence microscopy observations.…
The Effectiveness of a Conductive Patch and a Conductive Bed Pad in Reducing Induced Human Body Voltage Via the Application of Earth Ground

Jan 1, 2005
This engineering-style study measured voltage induced on the human body via capacitive coupling to the environment using a high-impedance measurement head. It then applied earth grounding through a conductive patch and a conductive bed pad. Both grounding methods reportedly reduced coupled 60 Hz mains voltage by at…
