Effects of prooxidants on human serum exposed to 50 Hz magnetic fields.
The purpose of this article is to evaluate magnetic field effects (50 Hz, different magnetic intensities) on the chemiluminescence intensity of human serum. We find that 1 and 2 h of exposure increased the chemiluminescence emission. The addition to the serum of prooxidants FeCl(2) and H(2)O(2) in different concentrations increased the chemiluminescence intensity even more.
