change in oxygen absorption of human adult and fetal hemoglobin due to 940 mhz electromagnetic field radiation exposure
نویسندگان
چکیده
the effects of electromagnetic fields (emfs) radiation at the frequency of 940 mhz on the structure and function of human adult and fetal hemoglobin (hba and hbf) were studied. after extraction and purification of hba and hbf, the oxygen absorption values for exposed and unexposed hba and hbf to emf were compared. the slope of oxygen absorption curve for exposed hba was increased while that for hbf was decreased compare to those before emf exposing. furthermore, the oxygen absorption saturation values were changed from 3.4-5.1 and from 5.1-3.1 mg l-1, respectively for hba and hbf after exposing to emf. the uv-vis, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the quaternary structural changes of both proteins after emf exposure. so that, the structural transition of hba from tense to relaxed state caused an increasing in oxygen absorption; whilst in hbf, transition from relaxed to tense state was occurred and therefore oxygen absorption was decreased.

Change in Oxygen Absorption of Human Adult and Fetal Hemoglobin Due to 940 MHz Electromagnetic Field Radiation Exposure
The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) radiation at the frequency of 940 MHz on the structure and function of human adult and fetal hemoglobin (HbA and HbF) were studied. After extraction and purification of HbA and HbF, the oxygen absorption values for exposed and unexposed HbA and HbF to EMF were compared. The slope of oxygen absorption curve for exposed HbA was increased while that for...
متن کاملThe oxygen equilibrium of fetal and adult human hemoglobin.
Although the fetal and adult hemoglobins of many species, including man, are essentially similar in molecular weight and in spectroscopic characteristics, they exhibit marked differences in other chemical and physical properties (l-6). Therefore, they may be assumed to represent distinct chemical entities. The present study was undertaken to determine whether the chemical difference is expresse...

The ingested nitrates sourced from tap water, food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals areconverted to nitrites in the body surfaces by bacteria and then, the nitrite ions can lead thestructural changing in hemoglobin. In the present work, aggregation of the purified hemoglobinin adult (HbA) and in fetus or newborn (HbF) in the presence of nitrite ions were studied.Hemoglobin aggregation was perform...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Field Due to Lightning Strikes to Mountainous Ground
The produced electric and magnetic fields due to lightning strikes to mountainous ground are determined in this paper. For the sake of simplicity a cone-shaped ground with finite conductivity is assumed to represent a natural nonflat ground. By this assumption, we deal with an axillary symmetrical structure so we use the cylindrical 2D-FDTD to save the simulation memory and time, dramatically. ...
متن کاملDown-Regulation of Metallothionein 1 and 2 after Exposure to Electromagnetic Field in Mouse Testis
Background: It is proved that testis is sensitive to electromagnetic field (EMF) and its damage results in infertility. Exposure to EMF induces reactive oxygen species production and affects on anti-oxidants defense mechanisms. Metallothionein (MT) is a name for a group of low molecular weight (6-7 kDa), sulfhydryl rich proteins. Expression of MT1 and MT2 genes in testis tissue after EMF exposu...
