## Abstract Neuromuscular function in adult male rats was studied following 30 days of exposure to a 60βHz electric field at 100 kV/m (unperturbed field strength). Isometric force transducers were attached to the tendons of the plantaris (predominantly fast twitch), and soleus (predominantly slow t
Rats were exposed to a 60-Hz electric field at an unperturbed field strength of 100 kV/m to determine its affect on bone growth and fracture repair. Exposure of immature male and female rats for 20 Wday for 30 days did not alter growth rate, cortical bone area, or medullary cavity area of the tibia.
## Abstract Adult male rats were exposed or shamβexposed to 60βHz electric fields without spark discharges, ozone, or significant levels of other secondary variables. No effects were observed on body weights or plasma hormone levels after 30 days of exposure at an effective field strength of 68 kV/
