Summary

Three articles are discussed which may shed some light on whether exposure to electromagnetic fields has any effects on critical hormone systems in animals. Researchers from Yugoslavia examined the effects of ELF EMF on thyroid function in rats. A Hungarian group examined the effects of EMF on testosterone production by mouse primary Leydig cell cultures. The third group examined the effects of electric and magnetic fields on blood progesterone concentrations during the estrous cycles in nonpregnant lactating Holstein dairy cows exposed to the equivalent of an overhead power line.
