Effects of prooxidants on human serum exposed to 50 Hz magnetic fields

Electromagn Biol Med. 2007;26(2):135-40. doi: 10.1080/15368370701410038.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to evaluate magnetic field effects (50 Hz, different magnetic intensities) on the chemiluminescence intensity of human serum. We find that 1 and 2 h of exposure increased the chemiluminescence emission. The addition to the serum of prooxidants FeCl(2) and H(2)O(2) in different concentrations increased the chemiluminescence intensity even more.
