Abstract
Colonic tissue from the turtle (Pseudemys scripta) was exposed in a Ussing chamber to simultaneously applied static and time-varying magnetic fields. Transepithelial differences of potential were monitored as frequency of the AC field was varied continuously or in discrete steps from 3 to 770 Hz. Density of the DC field was varied from 10 to 220 microT and that of the AC field from 1 to 20 microT. Short-circuit currents through tissue were monitored for changes that might have been observed under ion-cyclotron resonance (ICR) conditions for each of several ions: H+, Li+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Cl-. No discernible changes of transepithelial current were observed. The negative findings are discussed in relation to positive and negative findings that have appeared in the literature.
AI evidence extraction
Structured fields below were generated from the paper’s abstract and metadata to make the evidence easier to inspect. Automated extraction may be incomplete or incorrect; verify important details against the original paper.
Main findings
Across AC magnetic-field frequencies from 3 to 770 Hz with simultaneous static (10–220 microT) and time-varying (1–20 microT) magnetic fields, no discernible changes in transepithelial current were observed under tested ion-cyclotron resonance conditions for several ions (H+, Li+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-).
Outcomes measured
- Transepithelial potential difference
- Short-circuit current (transepithelial current) changes under ion-cyclotron resonance (ICR) conditions for H+, Li+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-
Limitations
- Sample size not reported in abstract
- Exposure duration not reported in abstract
- Ex vivo tissue preparation (Ussing chamber) may limit generalizability beyond the experimental system
