“…The effect depends not only on ultrasound exposure, but also on the inherent characteristics of the species' blood. The mechanism of the biological activity of physical agents is caused by the external field forced vibrations of ions near the surface of the CPM, fluctuations in the channels, and the ability of accelerated ions to penetrate the membrane pores and specialized ion channels due to the active transport systems [13]. It was shown that the modulated UHF, EMR or US effect at some frequencies can cause a change in enzymatic activity towards both activation and inhibition [14,15].…”

“…It was shown that coherent vibration of electric charge was able to affect electro sensitive channels on the membrane which could lead to the disruption of cell′s electrochemical balance and function. The proposed model theoretically proved that pulsed EM fi elds could be twice as effective biologically as the continuous ones (32). Furthermore there have been a number of papers connecting exposure of RF/MW radiation with excessive formation of free radicals (67)(68)(69)(70)(71)(72)(73)(74).…”

“…The process is even more expressed when radicals are attached to cellular structures such as cell membrane (31). A biophysical model for the effect of oscillating electric fi elds on cells has been given by Panagopoulos et al in 2002. This model is based on forced-vibration of free ions on the surface of a plasma membrane caused by an external oscillating fi eld.…”

“…EM radiation has been shown to cause changes in living tissues such as altering the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, encephalogram and blood pressure, mostly through 'nonthermal' pathways [16]. Lower frequency EM fields appear to be more bioactive than higher frequency fields of the same rest characteristics [17]. Extremely low frequency (ELF) EM fields, of the order of several V/m, as occurring with both GSM (Groupe Spécial Mobile) and DCS (digital cellular system) transmissions, are able to disrupt cell function by irregular gating of electro sensitive ion channels on the plasma membranes of cells [18].…”
