Increase in X-ray-induced mutations by exposure to magnetic field (60 Hz, 5 mT) in NF-kappaB-inhibited cells.

Abstract excerpt

It is established that extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELFMF) at the flux densities, i.e., 5 mT and less, are not mutagenic. However, exposure to ELFMF enhances mutations induced by X-rays. In this study, we examined the effects of long-term exposure to 5 mT ELFMF on mutation induction and X-ray-induced mutations in human malignant glioma cells (MO54) with different mutant IkappaB-alpha (a critical...
