Effects of Ion Resonance Tuned Magnetic Fields on N-18 Murine Neuroblastoma Cells

Numerous experiments by various laboratories have demonstrated that the effects of ELF magnetic fields on living systems may be dependent upon resonance effects. Bawin and Adey (1976) and Blackman, et. al. (1984) observed such responses for calcium efflux from chick brains. Dutta, et. al. (1984) saw similar effects in neuroblastoma cells. Liboff (1985) suggested that these effects might be due to cyclotron resonance effects on transmembrane movement of ions. Since then, the theory has been expanded and refined a number of times, and the interested reader is directed to one of the recent theoretical papers by Liboff and McLeod (e.g. 1988) for an analytical discussion. In sum, the theory states that transport will be affected if the combined ac and static magnetic fields satisfy the cyclotron resonance conditions for a particular ion as given by the formula: 2πfc=(q/m)(B), where; fc = fundamental resonance frequency in Hz q/m = charge (Coulombs) to mass (Kg) ratio of the ion B = static magnetic field (Tesla {1 T = 1 × 104Gauss})
