In this study, the influence of power frequency electromagnetic field on body mass was investigated. Experiment was performed on male rats during the first three months of their postnatal life. The obtained results indicated to small changes in body mass and significant alterations of mass gain in exposed animals, compared to controls.

Several studies have demonstrated that the electromagnetic fields produce analgesic activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) on morphine analgesia and tolerance in rats. In the study, 78 adult male Wistar albino rats (approximately 240 ± 12 g) were used. The application of 50 Hz magnetic field, each day the same...

Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) causes various biological effects through altering intracellular calcium homeostasis. The role of high voltage-gated (HVA) calcium channels in ELF-EMF induced effects has been extensively studied. However, the effect of ELF-EMF on low-voltage-gated (LVA) T-type calcium channels has not been reported. In this study, we test the effect of E...

Introduction: Today, humans leave in a world surrounded by electromagnetic fields. Numerous studies have been carried out to discover the biological, physiological, and behavioral effects of electromagnetic fields on humans and animals. Given the biological similarities between monkeys and humans, the goal of the present research was to examine Visual Memory (VM), hormonal, genomic, and anatomi...

We theoretically analyze the propagation of very low frequency (VLF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic energy in the spherical waveguide formed by the ground and ionosphere of Mars to investigate the possibility of using such signals to remotely sense Martian ground conductivity and ionospheric parameters. This energy is presumed to be radiated from an electrical discharge in a ...

background: extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (elf-emf) have been common in daily life all over the world. they have produced by power lines and electrical appliances, but higher levels of them have raised a lot of concerns about their carcinogenesis. both epidemiological and laboratory studies have suggested that emfs might increase cancer incidence, including acute childhood leuk...

Previous studies have shown that magnetic fields have subtle effects on pain perception in animals as well as humans. Experiments with sinusoidal extremely low frequency magnetic fields as well as pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) have indicated that PEMF may have a larger analgesic effect, and so may be more clinically relevant. Indeed, these effects have been demonstrated to be specific to...

BACKGROUND The extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF), mainly emitted by electric transmission lines and household electronic appliances, is becoming a worldwide health risk. It is imperative to investigate the biological impacts of ELF-EMF and to identify products that are resistant to the radiation from 50 Hz ELF-EMF. In this study, we investigated the biological impacts of a...

Objective Exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) was in 2002 classified as a possible human carcinogen, Group 2B, by the International Agency for Research on Cancer at WHO based on an increased risk for childhood leukemia. In case-control studies on brain tumors during 1997-2003 and 2007-2009 we assessed lifetime occupations in addition to exposure to different age...
