“…In contrast, other biological effects are well documented [Anderson, 1993]. For example, magnetic ®elds are known to increase mRNA transcription [Goodman et al, 1993], alter the ion potential of plasma membranes [Luben, 1991], change intracellular concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate [Schimmelpfeng et al, 1995], change the rates of chemical reactions [Perito and Corden, 1988], and change hormone levels [Kato et al, 1993;Reiter, 1995]. Because these cellular processes contribute to normal cell behavior and interactions, magnetic ®elds have the potential of disrupting development.…”
