Abstract

The sensitivity of connective tissue cells in vivo to very-low-frequency EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure has been investigated using an isolated avian wing bone preparation. Results obtained at 75 and 15 Hz suggest that, consistent with in vitro studies, connective tissue cells in vivo demonstrate a high sensitivity to electric fields that is strongly frequency-dependent. In addition, short-term exposure (1 h/day) is shown to lead to significant long-term (eight-week) modification of the bone structure. These results are discussed in terms of plausible mechanisms by which the cells may be capable of detecting low-frequency electric fields.
