Electromagnetic field of extremely low frequency (60Hz and 120Hz) effects the cell cycle progression and the metabolic activity of the anterior pituitary gland cells in vitro

Abstract

The paper shows the results of experiments performed at cultures of the anterior pituitary gland cells of domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica) in vitro. The cells were subjected to the influence of electromagnetic field of extremely low frequencies (60 and 120 Hz) by two hours. We analyzed the cell cycle progression and the metabolic activity. The analysis of the viability and the cell cycle was performed immediately and 24 hours after the end of the experiment. The presented studies indicate on the antiproliferative properties of an electromagnetic field in the tested range of frequencies (60 and 120Hz) by inhibition of cell cycle progression in G0/G1 phase.
