Continuous exposure to 50 Hz, 3 mT ELF-EMF for multiple generations can increase body length, ATP synthesis, and antioxidant capacity in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed Caenorhabditis elegans continuously to 50 Hz, 3 mT ELF-EMF at 20°C across multiple generations from the egg stage. They measured body length, ATP content, ATP synthase activity, and expression of ATP synthase genes in the 15th generation adult worms. In the 15th generation, body length increased significantly, ATP content increased significantly, ATP synthase activity was significantly enhanced, and the expression of r53.4, hpo-18, atp-5, and atp-3 genes was upregulated. In the 15th generation, SOD activity increased significantly and the expression of sod-1, sod-2, and sod-3 genes was upregulated.
