Abstract

The modulation effect of 8 Hz (2.5 mT) extra low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF EMF) on cisPt induced changes of cell hydration and number of ouabain receptors (Na+/K+ ATPase molecules) in membrane of Sarcoma-180 tissue was studied. Tissue hydration was measured as wet mass/dry mass and expressed as a water content of g/g in dry mass. The number of 3H-ouabain receptors in membrane was counted by isotope scintillation counter. It was shown, that 8 Hz ELF EMF has dehydration effect on cancer tissue. Besides, 8 Hz ELF EMF is not a modulator of cisPt effect on tumor tissue.
