✦ Synopsis
The sensitirity of trout ova and sperm to l-T magnetic fields was mvestigated It was determined that 1) overall test results combining seven independent Z-\tatistics demonstrated a signiticant (a: < 0 OOOI) enhancement ot fertilization when ova alone were exposed to the magnetic field prior to fertili7ation. 2) simildrly, overall test result\ combining Z-statistic5 from eight independent experiment5 indicated a significant (a: < 0 0004) enhancement when sperm alone were exposed. and 3) statistical analyw of nine independent experiments confirmed enhdnced fertilization (a < 0 OOOI) when both ova and $perm were exposed to the magnetic field prior to fertilization Although these data indicated that both ova and sperni were senmve to magnetic field, simultaneous exposure of both gametes did not have a greater total effect on fertilization rate than the sum of their individual effects

In previous studies we have demonstrated that 50 Hz, 100 microT magnetic field (MF) exposure of female Sprague-Dawley rats for 13 weeks significantly enhances the development and growth of mammary tumors in a breast cancer model. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that, at least i
## Abstract The mechanisms of biological effects of 50/60 Hz (power frequency) magnetic fields (MF) are still poorly understood. There are a number of studies indicating that MF affect biochemical processes in which free radicals are involved, such as the biological objects' response to ultraviolet
Several epidemiological investigations have suggested an increased incidence of lymphoma, leukemia, and brain tumor in residents living near power transmission lines. However, some observers failed to confirm such a positive correlation. To evaluate the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) magne
## Abstract The effect of magnetic field (MF) exposure on microcirculation and microvasculature is not clear or widely explored. In the limited body of data that exists, there are contradictions as to the effects of MFs on blood perfusion and pressure. Approximately half of the cited studies indica
