Abstract
Exposure to a 60-Hz electric field at 10 kV/m but not at 5 kV/m, 100 kV/m or 1000 kV/m caused a highly significant, threefold elevation in the steroidogenic response of rat adrenal cortical tissue after the administration of 10 mU of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) under in vitro , superfusion conditions. A 60-Hz electric field can directly influence the function of mammalian tissue in the absence of central-nervous-system mediation.
