Abstract

Overview

Emerging evidence over recent decades suggests that weak radiofrequency (RF) fields have the potential to influence biological systems. This study aims to deepen our understanding of how these weak RF fields impact chemical parameters indicative of oxidative stress.

Findings

• Experimental Approach: The study involved a series of experiments assessing the effects of RF fields within the 3-5 MHz range on mitochondrial respiration in human fibrosarcoma and fibroblast cells over four days.
• Results: RF fields between 3 and 5 MHz altered mitochondrial signaling, affecting cell growth, mitochondrial mass, and oxidative stress. Notably, exposure to RF fields at 4.2 MHz significantly increased mitochondrial mass and oxidative stress in fibrosarcoma cells.

Conclusion

This research raises significant concerns that prolonged exposure to weak RF fields may lead to adverse health effects. The ability to modify these biological parameters through external magnetic fields could have crucial clinical applications.
