The efficacious effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) under the certain field parameters like frequency and the field intensity have been reported for various tissue and molecules. Since collagen is found abundantly in most tissue structures, this research was designed to further investigate the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) PEMF on the synthesis of the epidermal collagen. ...

background: in previous investigations, it has been clarified that electromagnetic fields (elf) can cause some changes in cellular behavior. the aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effect of magnetic field (mf) on human sperm parameters of motility, morphology, and viability. materials and methods: semen samples were collected from 12 fertile men, and were allowed to liquefy fo...

introduction: during the last 3 decades, human is exposed to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (elf-emf) emitted by power lines and electronic devices. it is now well accepted that elf-emf are able to produce a variety of biological effects, although the molecular mechanism is unclear and controversial. investigation of different intensities effects of 50 hz elf-emf on cell morphol...

Normal lung architecture is related to the presence of mesenchymal cells (fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells), and to the production by these cells of extracellular matrix. The turnover of mesenchymal cells is under a fine regulation due, at least in part, to the local presence of different mediators acting on their cell cycle. Since normal human alveolar macrophages obtained by bronchoalveola...

extremely low frequency (elf) electromagnetic field (elf-emfs) are widely employed in electrical appliances and different equipment such as television sets, elf-emfs can  affect biological systems by increasing production  ros. the altered balance between ros generation and elimination plays a critical role in a variety of pathologic conditions. ros levels have been observed in several hematopo...

The space formed by the ground and ionosphere is known to act as a resonator for extremely low frequency (ELF) waves. Lightning discharges trigger this global resonance, which is known as Schumann resonances at the frequencies of 8, 14, 20Hz etc. Even though the inhomogeneity (like day-night asymmetry, local perturbation etc.) is important for such subionospheric ELF propagation, the previous a...

[1] Experimental observations of ELF/VLF waves generated using the dual‐beam heating capability of the High frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) HF transmitter in Gakona, Alaska, are compared with the predictions of an ionospheric HF heating model that accounts for the simultaneous propagation and absorption of multiple HF beams. The model output is used to assess three properties ...

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 ...

AIM There is a specific frequency of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) that promotes neuronal differentiation. Although several mechanisms are known to regulate ELF-EMF-induced neuronal differentiation, a key factor that mediates neurogenic potentials by the ELF-EMF is largely unknown. Also, the potential use of ELF-EMF exposure in cell transplantation assays is yet to be ...
