Cytoplasmic Ca2+ oscillations in human leukemia T-cells are reduced by 50 Hz magnetic fields
Authors not listed · 1999
Exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields reduced the total spectral power of the cytosolic Ca2+ oscillator in Jurkat E6.1 cells in a dose-response manner.
Plain English Summary
Researchers investigated the effect of 50 Hz magnetic fields on the cytosolic calcium oscillator in Jurkat E6.1 cells at field strengths from 0 to 0.40 mT root mean square. The total spectral power of the cytosolic Ca2+ oscillator was reduced by magnetic field exposure and the effect increased in a dose-response manner. This reduction was also observed in the 0-10 mHz subinterval of the oscillation spectrum, while higher frequency subintervals showed no significant change.
Why This Matters
Data were analyzed by computing spectral densities of the Ca2+ oscillating patterns for each 10-minute interval. For each single-cell experiment, the spectra of all exposure and nonexposure periods were averaged separately before comparison.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study.
