Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the biological effects of ELF magnetic fields on the growth of osteoblast cells. From our preliminary experiments it was found that ALP activities of osteoblasts exposed to ELF magnetic fields of 30 and 60 Hz did not produce large differences as compared with that of control experiments, though there existed significant differences at some points1. Accumulation of collagen in the cells was however suggested because protein contents increased almost monotonously at both electrical frequencies. Therefore, the effects of ELF magnetic fields on collagen synthesis in osteoblasts were examined in the present study.
