The effect of extremely low frequency (ELF) pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) on collagenase enzyme kinetics

Current interest in the application of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) as alternative therapy for different medical conditions has proved to be successful. A number of investigations demonstrated that low frequency PEMF enables the induction of significant current in tissues and allows for an enhanced biological effect and thus, can facilitate wound healing. In our previous study [1] we presented and discussed the design and development of an extremely low frequency (ELF) PEMF system that produces a time varying magnetic field of 0.5mT to 2.5mT the frequency range of 2-500Hz. 2-D and 3-D simulation results of the magnetic field produced by the system of two pairs of air core Helmholtz coils were also presented.
