    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 voltage gated calcium channels

    Normally the inside of the cell is negatively charged relative to the outside. When the membrane depolarizes (the side becomes more positive), the S4 helix moves through the S4 and S5 linkers to the cytoplasmic ends of the S5 and S6 helices. This opens the activation gate which is formed by the inner side…
