| Abstract | ||||
| Objective: To investigate the bio-effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure on blood elements, blood glucose, liver and kidney functions of mice implanted with Ehrlich tumour. Methods: female BALB/c mice inoculated subcutaneously with cell suspension isolated from Ehrlich ascitis carcinomas were exoposed to sinusoidal 50 Hz, 0.2 Tm for 21 days. Results: exposure to low frequency EMF resulted in a pronounced decrease in tumour growth. The increase in total leucocytic count, liver enzymes, bilirubin, blood glucose and creatinine observed in mice with implaned tumours, was significantly reduced by low frequency EMF exposure. Conclusions: these results suggest that exposure to low frequency EMF of 50 Hz inhibits malignant growth in mice with Ehrlich tumour. It is suggested that low frequency EMF may find utility as a method in the treatment of tumours, either alone or in conjunction with chemotherapeutic agents. | ||||
