Pregnancy and embryo success in pigs exposed to ELF-EMF

The peri-implantation period is critical for pregnancy success, with up to 30% embryo loss possible but the reasons are not fully understood7,8. It is disturbing that many women may unknowingly undergo physical therapies involving electromagnetic fields during the peri-implantation period, which could increase the likelihood of pregnancy loss3. Therefore, understanding the ELF-EMF-induced molecular effects is crucial for developing risk mitigation guidelines.
ELF-EMF radiation appears to interact with DNA methylation levels and to affect the expression of genes involved mainly in cellular homeostasis, conceptuses development, and attachment, suggesting the need for further investigation to elucidate better the impact of ELF-EMF exposure on the physiology of early conceptuses.
The results of studies in animal models revealed that exposure to the ELF-EMF may be detrimental to uterine and conceptuses activity affecting steroid hormone synthesis and secretion
