Abstract
The 'ion cyclotron resonance hypothesis' was explored by Liboff et al. (1987) in an experiment involving incorporation of calcium-45 (n5Ca2*) in mixed human lymphocytes. The geomagnetic horizontal field component was'adjusted to 2l pT. The experiment was first performed at an amplitude of the applied oscillating field of 150 pT and a sharp minimum was obtained at the frequency of l43Hz, which corresponds to the ion cyclotron frequency
at 2l p,T . The experiment was then repeated at an amplitude of 2l prT
and now a sharp, narrow maximum occurred at l4.3Hz.
Although there appears to be experimental evidence for resonance
phenomena, the cyclotron resonance hypothesis is shown to violate the laws of classical mechanics (Halle 1988).
Lednev (1990) and Hart (1990) treat quantum mechanically the interaction of a low-frequency field with an ion bound loosely to a membrane surface in the presence of a static magnetic field, and claim evidence for resonancephenomena.
In the present paper we have tried to demonstrate the presence of resonance phenomena for influx and efflux of radioactive calcium-45 ions in human normal and transformed lymphocytes and in rat thymocytes.
