title: Electromagnetic modulation of biological processes: bicarbonate effect and mechanistic considerations in the Ca-uptake by embryonal chick tibia in vitro.
abstract: Electromagnetically induced currents pulsating at very low frequency stimulated calcium uptake by chick embryo tibia rudiments only when bicarbonate was present in the culture medium. A bicarbonate-dependent Ca2+-ATPase might be implicated in coupling of the electromagnetic signal with processes that promote Ca-transport and storage in bone tissue.
