Abstract
The
electromagnetic frequencies that induced normally in human body, comprise from
the action potentials of nerves, heart tissue and skeletal muscles, were
categorized in the range of extremely low frequencies. With increase in
developed devices that produced or induced electromagnetic fields, human
anxiety about effects of these fields on normal or abnormal body cell
proliferation was increased. Experiments
provided on cells and tissues indicated that electromagnetic fields at
different strengths and frequencies had altered effects on cell proliferation
and differentiation. Thus, this systematic review analyzed different findings
and focused on extremely low frequency electromagnetic field effects on cell
proliferation. The observations reinforced pulsed extremely low frequency electromagnetic
fields in frequencies between 15-60 Hz had more effects on cell proliferation
and less effect on cell differentiation. This effect was related to multi-
session irradiation or cells long term exposure. Extremely
low frequency electromagnetic fields can use as a safe stimulator for cell
proliferation and repair of tissue damages
