Restoration of nerve ultrastructure and recovery frommotor neuropathy in mice by electromagnetic field
The effect of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the restoration of forelimb grip strength and radial nerve ultrastructure was
studied in mice with motor neuropathy induced by the administration of neurotoxin, 0.62% 3,3’iminodipropionitrile
(IDPN), in drinking water for 9 1⁄2 weeks. Forelimb grip strength (lb) of mice as measured by a force gauge meter declined to
47% compared to the control group (p<0.004). The IDPN treated group without any EMF exposure persisted to have a 56%
decrease in grip strength and radial nerve electron micrographs showed axonal demyelination, mitochondria in an orthodox
state of conformation, (nonfunctional) and uneven dispersion of neurofilaments and microtubules. In contrast, one IDPN
treated group was treated with applied EMF (electromagnetic field) intensities and frequencies that were calculated on the
basis of the mass of molecules vital to nerve function using mc2 = BvLq and f = qB / 2πm. During EMF exposure mice
were held in a perforated Lucite box placed in a Resonator that generated the EMF between the centers of two 18” discs, 9”
apart containing copper coils in Helmholtz configuration. EMF was applied twice weekly for 8 1⁄2 weeks that resulted in as
much as 87% recovery (p<0.05) of grip strength that was sustained after the termination of exposure at an 82% level until
the 27th week of observation. The EMF exposed group also exhibited axonal remyelination, functional condensed state of
mitochondria, and evenly dispersed neurofilaments and microtubules consistent with grip strength recovery. [These results are
the first to demonstrate a biological effect of EMF in vivo on the restoration of subcellular structures required for nerve impulse
conduction and metabolism in nerves and consequently a grip strength recovery from motor neuropathy, under controlled
experimental conditions.] The studies were conducted at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, and replicated at
Fairleigh Dickinson University, School of Natural Sciences.
