title: Decrease of luminol chemiluminescence upon exposure of human blood serum to 50 Hz electric fields.
abstract: The chemiluminescence of luminol, after 1 and 2h in vitro exposure of human serum to 50 Hz electric fields of different intensities, decreases as compared to the controls. This indicates a field-induced decrease in the concentration of the free radicals. The report is limited to the key kinetic and field data, inviting independent kinetic analysis of the data in terms of reaction moments or reaction susceptibilities for the various normal modes indicated by the data.
