Free Radical Formation
Fifty-hertz magnetic fields induce free radical formation in BM-derived cells
Published in TB and Outbreaks Week, February 1st, 2005
"Our findings show a significant increase of free radical production after exposure to 50 Hz electromagnetic fields at a flux density of 1 mT to mouse bone marrow-derived (MBM) promonocytes and macrophages, indicating the cell-activating capacity of extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF).
"We demonstrate that after exposure to ELF-MF mainly superoxide anion radicals were produced, both in MBM macrophages (33%) and also in their precursor cells (24%)," wrote researchers in Germany.
"To elucidate whether NADPH- or...
