Gap Junctional Intercellular Communication Suppression By ELF Magnetic Field And Its Molecular Mechanisms

Over the past two decades, extensive epidemiological surveys and animal experiments have been conducted to evaluate the biological effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields, particularly on cancer development. The results have suggested that increased risk for several cancers such as brain tumor, leukemia, and male breast cancer were associated with exposure to ELF magnetic fields. Some biochemistry molecules and pro-oncogene, such as omithine decarboxylase (ODC), melatonin, c-fos, and c-myc, have also been...
