Study Details

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of extremelylow frequency magnetic fields (ELFMF) on the uterus and ovary of rats.

Forty-eightfemale Wistar albino rats were divided into two groups, one for 50 and the other for 100 ...

Ultrastructural dissolution, decrease in cell organelles, cavities in cells, heterochromative appear...

The results of the study showed that 50 and 100 days of exposure to a 1-mT ELFMF can cause alterations at the cellular level and in MDA concentration.
