Selenium supplementation ameliorates electromagnetic field-induced oxidative stress in the HEK293 cells.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 CONCERN MEDIUM

This in vitro study examined whether selenium supplementation modifies oxidative stress and apoptosis markers in HEK293 cells exposed to 2.4 GHz EMF. The authors report that EMF exposure increased lipid peroxidation (MDA) and apoptosis-related markers while decreasing antioxidant enzyme activities…

Does precautionary information about electromagnetic fields trigger nocebo responses? An experimental risk communication study.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 REASSURANCE MEDIUM

This experimental study tested whether providing precautionary information about EMF from WLAN devices increases symptom reporting during an alleged exposure situation. In a sham-exposure design (N=137), participants received either basic information about current WLAN exposure limits or…

Expressions of some antioxidant genes in SH-SY5Y cells treated with β-lapachone, morphine and electromagnetic field.

Electromagnetic field pretreatment of Sinapis alba seeds improved cadmium phytoextraction.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This laboratory study tested whether brief ELF-EMF seed pretreatment could enhance cadmium accumulation in white mustard seedlings. Seeds exposed to 50 Hz alternating EMF (60 or 120 mT) for 1 minute produced shoots with higher cadmium content than controls, while biomass was unchanged. The authors…

Important parameters for optimized metal nanoparticles-aided electromagnetic field (EMF) effect on cancer.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 NEUTRAL LOW

This paper presents a theoretical model analyzing parameters that may optimize metal nanoparticle-aided EMF photothermal therapy effects on cancer cells. The model suggests efficacy depends on both electric field enhancement and thermal (hyperthermia) contributions, influenced by nanoparticle…

Does acute radio-frequency electromagnetic field exposure affect visual event-related potentials in healthy adults?
