Cyclotron resonance of ions has been proposed as a mechanism by which weak, extremely-low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields can act on biological systems. Critics of a mechanism predicated on resonance of lithium have argued that this element is virtually absent from the internal milieu of mammals and otherwise plays no role in the normal physiological functioning of the organism. Sophisticated techniques of trace-element analysis have recently revealed that lithium is a normal constituent of tissues of assayed mammals, including those of rats and human beings. There is evidence, too, that lithium is an important, biologically-active element. Cyclotron resonance may or may not be a mechanism by which ELF- and static-magnetic fields at low strengths combine to affect the organism, but rejection of this mechanism on the grounds that lithium is absent or is physiologically inadequate is unwarranted. Lithium is normally present and is metabolically active in many tissues, especially those of the neuroendocrine system.
离子回旋共振已被提出作为一种机制，通过该机制，微弱的极低频（ELF）电磁场可作用于生物系统。对基于锂共振的机制持批评态度的人认为，这种元素在哺乳动物的内环境中几乎不存在，并且在生物体的正常生理功能中不起任何作用。最近，先进的微量元素分析技术表明，锂是被检测的哺乳动物组织（包括大鼠和人类的组织）的正常成分。也有证据表明，锂是一种重要的生物活性元素。回旋共振可能是也可能不是低强度的极低频和静磁场联合起来影响生物体的一种机制，但以锂不存在或生理功能不足为由拒绝这一机制是没有根据的。锂通常存在于许多组织中，尤其是神经内分泌系统的组织中，并且具有代谢活性。
