View Original AbstractThis study found no disruption of cellular communication from 50 Hz magnetic fields at levels 4-10 times higher than typical home exposures.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mouse cells to 50 Hz magnetic fields for 24 hours to study whether these fields affect gap junctions (tiny channels that allow cells to communicate with each other). They found no impact on cell communication at the magnetic field strengths tested (0.4 and 1 mT), contradicting some previous studies that suggested power frequency fields could disrupt this cellular function.
Study Details
The present study focused on gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) as a target for biological effects of extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic field (MF) exposure.
Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching microscopy (FRAP) was used to visualize diffusion of a fl...
In contrast to other reports of ELF-MF effects on GJIC, under our experimental conditions we observe...
