Age-related effects on induction of DNA strand breaks by intermittent exposure to electromagnetic fields. Ivancsits, S., Diem, E., Jahn, O., & Rüdiger, H. W. Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2003.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Several studies indicating a decline of DNA repair efficiency with age raise the question, if senescence per se leads to a higher susceptibility to DNA damage upon environmental exposures. Cultured fibroblasts of six healthy donors of different age exposed to intermittent ELF-EMF (50 Hz sinus, 1 mT) for 1-24 h exhibited different basal DNA strand break levels correlating with age. The cells revealed a maximum response at 15-19 h of exposure. This response was clearly more pronounced in cells from older donors, which could point to an age-related decrease of DNA repair efficiency of ELF-EMF induced DNA strand breaks. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
