Study Details

The effects of co-exposure of human neuroblastoma and rat glioma cells to a 50 Hz magnetic field and menadione on DNA damage and oxidative stress should be investigated.

Effects of 10 and 30 µT fields were studied in SH-SY5Y and C6 cells exposed to 50-Hz MFs for 24 h. B...

Responses to MF were observed in both cell lines, but the effects differed between the cell lines. M...
