Abstract

The mechanism of biological effects of extremely-low-frequency electromagnetic field involve induced changes of Ca2+ transport through plasma membrane ion channels. In this paper we discusses the effects of externally applied Vi = 30 sin 100 pi t(mV) on the induced Ca2+ flux of HL-60 leukemia cells. After signal excitation or sham excitation the response of the intracellular calcium levels changes not only with the different concentrations of the activator but also with the activated states of cells.

Main findings

The paper discusses effects of an externally applied signal (Vi = 30 sin 100 pi t mV) on induced Ca2+ flux in HL-60 leukemia cells. After signal or sham excitation, intracellular calcium level responses varied with activator concentration and with the activated state of the cells.

Outcomes measured

  • Ca2+ transport/flux through plasma membrane ion channels
  • intracellular calcium levels

Limitations

  • No quantitative results or direction of effect reported in the abstract
  • Exposure parameters are incompletely described (e.g., field strength, frequency in Hz, duration)
  • Sample size not reported
