Contraction of frog myocardium in non-uniform electromagnetic field.
Tension of the frog heart irradiated by nonuniform electromagnetic field was investigated. Tension changes up to 50% of initial values were observed. The presence of a.c. field gradient is viewed as a possible reason for such alterations.
