“…Nevertheless, the two studies also did not find statistically significant change for HDL-c level, which is inconsistent with our results. In addition, many animal studies also reported that exposure to EMF did not change the blood levels of TC (Celikozlu et al 2012;Kim et al 2006;Portet and Cabanes 1988;Smialowicz et al 1981;Torres-Duran et al 2007) or TG (Bahaoddini et al 2008;Elferchichi et al 2010;Hori et al 2012;Portet and Cabanes 1988;Torres-Duran et al 2007), while other studies found an increase in blood TC or TG (Smialowicz et al 1981), even a decrease in TC (Bahaoddini et al 2008;Bellossi et al 1998;Coskun and Comlekci 2010;Hori et al 2012;Luo et al 2007), TG (Bellossi et al 1998;Coskun and Comlekci 2010;Luo et al 2007) and HDL-c (Luo et al 2007). Methodological variations such as the difference of exposure conditions (e.g., resource type, frequency, intensity, duration, and continuity of EMF exposure), subjects' susceptibility, or detection methods may have given rise to such inconsistent findings across studies.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) exposure on levels of serum lipids in workers of an electric power plant. A cross-sectional study was carried out in an electric power plant in Zhejiang province, China, from August to September 2011. All participants were divided into two groups with high occupational EMF exposure and low occupational EMF exposure. The occupational EMF exposure included radiofrequency EMF and extremely low-frequency EMF. Occupational EMF exposure was associated with an increased level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c; β = 0.17 mmol/L, P = 0.022). High EMF exposure group with longer employment duration, longer daily EMF exposure duration, and more mobile phone or electric fee per month had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, LDL-c, or triglyceride than the corresponding reference group. However, significantly decreased level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was only observed in high EMF exposure group with more mobile phone fee per month. Similar results were also found in 544 participants with available data of serum lipids in 2010. The findings showed that chronic EMF exposure was associated with the change of serum lipid levels. EMF exposure might modulate the process of lipid metabolism.

“…One group has investigated the influence of EMFs on insulin level in animals showing that EMFs can lower the glycemic activity of type I diabetic mice [75] . Another study suggests that modulated alternating Magnetic Field (MF) of 5 mT and 8 mT at 50 Hz can reduce blood glucose, total cholesterol and triglyceriOKde levels in the plasma of diabetic ratsrats [76,77] . Sakura et al have shown that ELF-EMF at 5 mT not only increases activity and proliferation of pancreatic cells, but also promotes insulin production at high glucose concentration (100 mg•dl−1 ) [78].…”

The Effects of Electromagnetic Fields on Human Health: Recent Advances and Future

The potential of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) for disease treatment and health enhancement has been actively pursued over the recent decades. This review first provides a general introduction about natural EMFs and related biological effects. Then the recent progress on the EMF treatment of some common diseases (such as cancer, diabetes, wound healing and neurological diseases, etc.) has been carefully reviewed and summarized. Yet, the blindness on the selection of therapeutic EMF parameters still hinders the broad ap-plication of EMF therapy. Moreover, the unclear mechanism of EMF function and poor reproducibility of experimental results also remain big challenges in the field of bioelectromagnetics. Bionics is a useful methodology that gains inspiration from nature to serve human life and industry. We have discussed the feasibility of applying bionic approach on the selection of therapeutic EMFs, which is based on the findings of natural EMFs. Finally, we advocate that the detailed information of EMFs and biological samples should be thoroughly rec-orded in future research and reported in publications. In addition, the publication of studies with negative results should also be allowed.
