Study Details

The present study was aimed to assess the effect of 50 Hz MFs on the oxidative deterioration of DNA in rat lymphocytes irradiated in vitro by UVA.

UVA radiation (150 J/m2) was applied for 5 min for all groups and 50 Hz MF (40 μT rms) exposure was ...

It has been found that the 1 h exposure to MF caused an evident increase in all parameters consisten...

This suggest that MF affects the radical pairs generated during the oxidative or enzymatic processes of DNA repair.
