This animal study exposed young Balb/c mice to constant 50 Hz power-frequency EMF at 0.1, 0.5, or 2.5 mT for 90 days. Body weight did not differ between exposed and control groups, but serum chemokine profiles showed exposure-related changes. EOTAXIN-1 and MCP-1 were significantly increased at 0.5 mT, which the…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure alters MCP-1 expression in several human cell lines. Cells were exposed to a 50 Hz sinusoidal field at 1 mT (rms), and the authors report that MCP-1 expression was modified in a cell-type-dependent manner. The findings are described as…
