Groups of adult male Sprague Dawley rats (64 rats each) were exposed for 8 months to electromagnetic fields (EMF) of two different field strength combinations: 5microT - 1kV/m and 100microT - 5kV/m. A third group was sham exposed. Field exposure was 8 hrs/day for 5 days/week. Blood samples were coll
Female rats were implanted with mammary adenocarcinoma tissue and 25 days later exposed to 2,000-Hz magnetic fields 1 h a day for 9 days. Analysis showed that tumor weights and the levels of several reproductive hormones were not significantly different between treated and control animals. Other stu
Genetically epilepsy-prone rats (GEPRs) which display tonic seizures (GEPR-9s) in response to acoustic stimulation were used in these studies. Other laboratories have shown that CEPR-9s have a reduced concentration of brain norepinephrine (NE). Previous reports have also indicated that audiogenie se
