“…With clear appreciating the complexity of reviewing modern theoretical and experimental data dealing with the action of MF on biological objects, we focus only on MF effects related to membrane phospholipids [5]. Here we consider the phenomena caused by the effects of electron and nuclear spins on the rate of FR in model biological media and native tissues, and discuss experimental data and theoretical inferences on the effects producing by MF exerts on LPO processes in biological membranes with involvement of FR and triplet molecules.…”

“…Interrelation between FR and biopotentials is closely related to transfer of energy and electric charge in the biological systems. Numerous examinations of EPR spectra of biological objects showed that all actively metabolizing systems (frozen or lyophilized in active state) contain unpaired electrons in concentration of 10 10 -10 17 spin/g dry weight or 10 9 -10 10 spin/g wet weight [5][6][7]. Generation of biopotentials results not only from concentration gradient of certain ions, but it can originate from the free radical states and semiconductivity phenomena in biological structures.…”

Complex multifactor diseases are characterized by enhanced formation of toxic free radicals. The developed apparatuses based on electron paramagnetic resonance or nuclear magnetic resonance electrodialysis are therapeutic tools playing the role of atomic-molecular "artificial kidney" excreting anion and cation radicals from the organism. These tools can be used in medicine in combination with drug therapy to protect cells from toxic action of free radicals produced during metabolic neutralizing deactivation of exogenous toxic substances invading the organism.

“…Firstly, it is known that PMF changes composition and content of membrane lipids [Piruzyan and Aristarkhov, 2004;Novitskaya et al, 2008] by involvement of radical pairs, activation, or inhibition of lipid peroxidation.…”

Composition and content of lipids were studied in leaves of red perilla plants (Perilla nankinensis [Lour.] Decne.) grown in weak permanent horizontal magnetic field (PMF) of 500 µT flux density under controlled illumination, temperature, and humidity in the phytothron chamber. Control plants were grown under similar conditions, but without PMF exposure. Exposure of perilla plants for a month to PMF retarded plant flowering as compared to control. PMF treatment increased total lipid content, including polar lipids, among them glycolipids and phospholipids. PMF did not affect content of neutral lipids. It is concluded that PMF stimulated synthesis of membrane lipids of chloroplasts, mitochondria, and cytoplasm in perilla leaves. A possible role of PMF as a factor imitating the additional light source retarding flowering of a short-day perilla plants is discussed.

“…They are known to affect the processes of functioning of the cell membrane apparatus with its constituent lipids involving radical pairs, which are associated with the activation or inhibition of lipid peroxidation and which can be influenced by a weak PMF [5]. The mechanism of action of PMF that is determined by the presence of magnetic inclusions (iron and its oxides in the form of ferromagnetics) in cells of some organisms should also be noted.…”
