Evaluation of Extremely Low Frequency Electric Field Role on Mice Induced with Ehrlich Tumor

In this work the evaluation of extremely low frequency electric field (ELF EF) role on mice induced with Ehrlich tumor was studied by employing 0.5 Hz electric field and 0.7 Hz electric field. Thirty female Balb/c mice 22±2 g carrying Ehrlich tumor in the thigh divided into three equal groups. Group A represents the control, group B was exposed to 0.5 Hz and group C was exposed to 0.7 Hz. Histopathological examination was used to investigate the impact of ELF EF on Ehrlich tumor, liver and spleen in both exposed groups. The results indicated that general health improvement was observed in exposed groups. However, group B showed more improvements than did group C. By comparing data from current and previous work, it was concluded that the use of ELF EF proved to be effective in controlling tumor cells and recovery of other organs such as liver and spleen.
