   Abstract:
   As part of an ongoing investigation of physiologic effects of high-voltage power frequency electric fields, femora from 55 adult rats which had been conceived, born, and raised in an 80 kV/m, 60 Hz unperturbed field were excised and studied. Specimens from 49 sham-exposed animals were also characterized in this double-blind study. Parameters evaluated were body weight, wet and dry bone weights, bone length, specific gravity, and various ratios of these parameters. Results from a statistical analysis indicated that chronic field exposure enhanced growth in the long bones, causing increased length and mass
