Abstract

The study aimed to determine the molecular targets of magnetic fields in living objects. Time-dependent effects of weak low-frequency magnetic field tuned to the parametric resonance for calcium ions were studied on model organisms (fish, whelk). The dynamics of Ca(2+)-dependent proteinase activity under the exposure to magnetic fields with given parameters was determined and minimal time of exposure in order to achieve inactivation of these proteinases was find out as well. As hyperactivation of Ca(2+)-dependent proteinases is a basis of degenerative pathology development the therapeutic potential of weak low-frequency magnetic fields enabling to modulate Ca(2+)-dependent proteinase activity is supported.

Main findings

Time-dependent effects of weak low-frequency magnetic fields tuned to parametric resonance for calcium ions were studied in fish and whelk. The dynamics of Ca(2+)-dependent proteinase activity under magnetic-field exposure were determined, and a minimal exposure time to achieve inactivation of these proteinases was identified.

Outcomes measured

  • Ca(2+)-dependent proteinase activity
  • Time-dependent inactivation of Ca(2+)-dependent proteinases (minimal exposure time)

Limitations

  • No magnetic-field parameters (e.g., frequency, intensity) reported in the abstract
  • Exposure duration details not provided (only that a minimal time was determined)
  • Sample size not reported
  • Outcomes limited to biochemical/proteinase activity measures in model organisms
