Influence of Calcium Cyclotronic Resonance on the Developmental Rates of Xenopus Laevis Tadpoles
Recent in vivo and in vitro studies suggest that exposures to a weak ELF magnetic field close to Larmor frequency of Ca2+ could have a role in changing the development rate of cells and animals. Several experiments have been performed to assess the inflence of specific exposure conditions on the Xenopus laevis tadpoles development rate. In our study, the exposition to a weak ELF magnetic field close to Ca2+ cyclotronic resonance, doesnt seem to affect the developmental rates of the tadpoles. Otherwise, under exposure conditions different from those of Ca2+ cyclotronic resonance, a significant retard seems to occur. Comparing these results, it can be deduced that probably the geomagnetic field B0 plays an important role in the activation of some processes connected with the development rate of this specie. In order to find an interpretation of the interaction mechanisms occurring between the magnetic fields and the biological matter at microscopic level, according to the Zhadin effect, an estimation of the energies associated to the most important ions involved in the intra/extra cellular activities (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+) under different exposure conditions, has been performed.
