Abstract
Presented article deals with the mechanisms of low frequency electromagnetic field impact on biological structures. Special attention is paid to the theories describing the influence of applied electromagnetic field on microtubule structures and ions bound on the cell membrane surface. These theories are confronted with the experiments presented herein. For better reliability of the experiments, new exposure coil system has been designed and created. Using this exposure system, results are conducted on the eukaryotic cells represented by saccharomyces cerevisiae. Observed effects show a good correlation mainly with ion parametric resonance model predictions proposed by Lednev and are discussed in the scope of further investigation possibilities.
Highlights
Investigations about non-thermal effect of low frequency electromagnetic field (LF EMF) applied on biological structures are still full of ambiguity and uncertainty
The first experiment was built-up according to the Ion Parametric Resonance (IPR) theory [10], so the B vector of AC field produced by the coil system is
The new exposure system was used for the experiments focused on the biological effect of parallel and perpendicular combination of applied time-varying and static magnetic field
Summary
Investigations about non-thermal effect of low frequency electromagnetic field (LF EMF) applied on biological structures are still full of ambiguity and uncertainty. This is caused by the absence of a general theory about mechanisms on the cellular level that could be accepted by the whole scientific society. In this paper the two of the theories that seem to be most prominent in the research during last few years are briefly presented. Both of the theories are confronted with our experimental work, where the influence of LF EMF on the yeast strand VIVO is investigated. Findings and results are discussed within the conception of the mentioned theories, while some conclusions and recommendations for further work are presented
