Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Vertical Electric Field Exposure of Rats: A Search for Growth, Food Consumption and Blood Metabolite Alterations.

Abstract

Three hundred eight-four young male rats were exposed to 45 Hertz, vertical, electric fields of 0 to 100 V/m. It was concluded that no biological effects from exposure to these electric fields were observed on growth, food consumption and water consumption, nor the blood concentrations of total protein, globulin, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and total lipid, nor on the hematological values for red blood cells, white blood cells, segmented neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, hematocrit or hemoglobin.
