Artron energy altered and enhanced [[human]] [[antibody|antibodies]], making the immune system of the human in question better at fighting diseases. ([[TV]]: ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'')


Nearby artron energy could be drained through use of an [[artron inhibitor]]. This would also prevent [[Time Lord]]s from [[Regeneration|regenerating]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy (novel)|The Banquo Legacy]]'')

Coupling the human mind to a source of high-voltage [[electricity]] could result in a massive release of artron energy. The [[Eighth Doctor]] once compared the relationship between Artron and normal energy to the movement in the depths of the sea and the waves on the surface.

Artron energy would be absorbed by travelling through time, such as by travellers in a TARDIS. <!--Invasion of the Bane is the first BBC Wales era story to directly link the term with the background radiation. Do not add Dalek or Doomsday.--> ([[TV]]: ''[[Invasion of the Bane (TV story)|Invasion of the Bane]]'', ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Playing House (comic story)|Playing House]]'')

Even touching a TARDIS could cause the passage of artron energy. [[Clyde Langer]] absorbed some artron energy from the outside of the TARDIS as he was trying to enter it while it was trapped in a [[time loop]] made by [[the Trickster]]. He then used the energy to attack the Trickster, as he was time-sensitive. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)|The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'')

The first use of the phrase "artron energy" in the [[BBC Wales]] production era of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and its spin off TV series was in the 2007 ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' TV story ''[[Invasion of the Bane (TV story)|Invasion of the Bane]]'', in which Mrs [[Wormwood (Invasion of the Bane)|Wormwood]] identifies it as background radiation and "The result of travels through the [[Time vortex|space-time vortex]]." Though not directly referred to as artron energy, the 2006 ''Doctor Who'' TV story ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' has [[Rose Tyler]] mention the Daleks evolved during the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] to use an undisclosed background radiation—which is soaked up "when you travel in time in the TARDIS"—as a power supply. She linked it to why the Dalek "[[Metaltron]]" that appeared in the 2005 ''Doctor Who'' TV story ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'' healed itself when Rose—a time traveller—touched its casing. Within ''Dalek'' itself, the Metaltron simply said that "Extrapolating the biomass of a time traveller [referring to Rose] regenerated me," with little further clarification. Also in ''Doomsday'', the [[Genesis Ark]] prison ship is described as Time Lord science that needs the touch of a time traveller to wake up.

In the 2008 ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' TV story ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'', [[Plummer]] says the [[lymphocyte]]s and "God knows what other cells" in [[Martha Jones]]' body have mutated. According to Professor [[Aaron Copley]], this is the result of a kind of radiation (not named in the story) which is not found on temporally stable environments on Earth, which gives Martha a "uniquely effective" [[immune system]].
