The influence of ELF-EMF on the insect paralysis induced by the LqhαIT toxin injection -experiments in vivo. Bars represent the level of insect paralysis; it is expressed using a scale from 0 to 4, in which 4 is the full ability of insects to turn back from the ventral to the dorsal side, 1 means that insects are completly unable to turn back to the normal position. Time: 1, 2 and 24 h after the toxin administration and the start of ELF-EMF exposure. (a) LqhαIT (10−8 M) effect (white column) and LqhαIT effect under exposure to ELF-EMF (0.7 mT) (black column). (b) LqhαIT (10−8 M) effect (white column) and LqhαIT effect under exposure to the ELF-EMF (7 mT) (black column)
