ID Number		2063
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		60 Hz exposure to pregnant rats and analysis of maturation of offspring and insulin and thyroid hormone levels.
Details		Pregnant rats were exposed to 60 Hz (ELF) at 3 microT for 2hrs/day over the period of gestation and evaluated for both hormone and metabolite levels. Exposure resulted in decreased glucose uptake by cells and decreased T4:T3 hormone ratio in pregnant dams fed a restricted diet (which normally leads to decreased serum insulin and cortisol)
