Published: November 1999

Fertilized white leghorn eggs were exposed to a 4 micro-Tesla (microT) 60 Hz horizontal magnetic field for 15, 18, 23 and 28 h. After exposure to the magnetic field, the embryos were isolated and assayed for ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. ODC activity in magnetic field-exposed embryos was compared to ODC activity in sham-exposed embryos. ODC activity in magnetic field-exposed embryos was not statistically elevated above sham-exposed embryos.
