PEMF and ceramides
This journey starts with the notion that 50 Hz from powerlines contributes to leukemia via ceramides in lipid membranes. It does so via interaction of PEMF with voltage gated Ca2+ channels. Signaling kinases related to changes in intracellular Ca2+ were examined. Another kinase, Akt, was found to be the signaling kinase and intracellular store…

TRPC1 and muscle stretch
This post is a follow up to a post to discussing 50 Hz PEMF activating sphingosine kinase 1. (Yang 2019) This post explores two things that PEMF and exercise have in common: the both activate TRPC1 Ca2+ channels and increase sphingosine-1-phosphate. This post also explores the interaction between TRPC1 and S1P for muscle health.

TRPC1, stretch, adipocytes, and PEMF
This post proposes that PEMF may do something holistic for adipocytes. Many PEMF users may feel gentle mechanical vibrations. The TRPC1 and PEMF post analyzed the hypothesis that TRPC1 may be regulated by reactive oxygen species from PEMF. This post proposes the gentle vibration we feel with PEMF may do something for this mechano-sensitive…

PEMF and red blood cells
Magnawave and Bionuu Clinic have YouTube videos claiming that PEMF makes red blood cells (RBC) less sticky. A Russian language peer reviewed PEMF publications on the PEMF exposure of RBC ghosts warrants further investigation as it involves a protein sysem important in redox balance. Why RBC appear to be sticky on slides in the…

PEMF and aorta stiffening
This post reviews Kavat 2009, a study showing that PEMF similar to that produced by many holistic medicine device can lessen like of responsiveness of aorta from rodents with a chemically induced form of diabetes. A device used to measure aorta stiffness in humans is also presented.
