Abstract
Bovine lymphocyte cultures were exposed to 50-Hz electric currents. Forty-five hours'' exposure produced no significant effects at 0.1 mA/cm2, but at 1 mA/cm2 a significant increase in chromosomal aberrations was observed. Similar effects were also seen in one of two subjects after short exposure (3 hrs) of lymphocytes in metaphase. A direct action of the field on the chromosome structure appears possible.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
