Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields Affect Myogenic Processes in C2C12 Myoblasts: Role of Gap-Junction-Mediated Intercellular Communication

Figure 4

Expression levels of cx43 in differentiating C2C12 myoblasts during ELF-EMF treatments. (a) Representative immunoblot of cx43 expression levels, from three independent experiments. (b) Densitometry analyses plotted as relative expression calculated by the ratio between OD × mm² of the cx43 band found in ELF-EMF-treated cells (0.1 mT, 0.5 mT, and 1.0 mT), and OD × mm² of the respective band in the corresponding control (Ctr). Data are means ± SEM from three independent experiments versus corresponding Ctr.
