Exposure details   Effects of static and 50 Hz alternating electric fields on superoxide dismutase activity and TBARS levels in guinea pigs. by Güler G, Seyhan N, Aricioglu A published in: Gen Physiol Biophys 2006; 25 (2): 177 - 193 Exposure 1: Main characteristics frequency: DC/static type of field: electric field add. information: vertical field Exposure setup exposure source/structure: copper plates exposure time pattern: 8 h/day for 3 days chamber details: Animals were placed in wooden cages. Copper plates (50 x 50 x 0.1 cm) spaced 14 cm, were mounted on the top and bottom faces of the cages (50 x 50 x 14 cm) to form parallel plates of a capacitor. Control animals were kept under the same conditions without electric field. sham: sham exposure was performed Exposure parameters parameter: value: type: method: remark: electric field strength  0.3 kV/m  min value  measured  0.3, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.35, 1.5, 1.8 KV/m  measurement and calculation details: The electric field was determined both by calculation and by measurements using a Narda EFA-300 electric field probe. Exposure 2: Main characteristics frequency: DC/static type of field: electric field add. information: horizontal field Exposure setup exposure source/structure: same setup as in Exposure 1 exposure time pattern: 8 h/day für 3 days chamber details: same as in E1 but the plates were mounted on the left and right side of the cage. sham: sham exposure was performed Exposure parameters parameter: value: type: method: remark: electric field strength  0.3 kV/m  min value  measured  0.3, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.35, 1.5, 1.8 KV/m  Exposure 3: Main characteristics frequency: 50 Hz type of field: electric field add. information: vertical AC field Exposure setup exposure source/structure: same setup as in Exposure 1 exposure time pattern: 8 h/day for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 days sham: sham exposure was performed Exposure parameters parameter: value: method: remark: electric field strength  1.35 kV/m  measured  -  Return to general data Glossary: 50 Hz, AC, animals, copper, DC, electric field, electric field strength, exposure, probe, sham exposure, static, vertical
