Nonthermal 60 Hz sinusoidal magnetic‐field exposure enhances 45Ca2+ uptake in rat thymocytes: dependence on mitogen activation
Open accessAbstract
The effect of a 60 Hz sinusoidal magnetic field of nonthermal intensity on Ca 2+ metabolism in rat thymic lymphocytes (thymocytes) was assessed in resting cells and in cells activated with the mitogen Concanavalin A (Con A). A 60 min exposure at 37°C to an induced electric field of 1.0 produced an average 2.7‐fold increase in Con A‐dependent 45 Ca 2+ ‐uptake compared to non‐exposed, isothermal control cells. In contrast, 45 Ca 2+ uptake remained unaltered during exposure of resting thymocytes. It was also found that thymocytes with a diminished ability to mobilize Ca 2+ in response to Con A were most sensitive to the 60 Hz magnetic field. Although the precise mechanism of field interaction is at present unknown, modulation of Ca 2+ metabolism during cell activation may represent a common pathway for field coupling to cellular systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
