この研究は、6.25または10 mg / kgのエチルニトロソウレア(ENU)を投与された妊娠Sprague-Dawleyラットから生まれた子孫における神経原性腫瘍の潜伏期間とその他の特性に対する860 MHzのパルス変調電磁界ばく露の影響を調べた。ENU投与された母ラットから生まれた1080匹の子孫を、個体数、性別、母ラットが受けたENUの用量が等しくなるようにして、パルスRFばく露群、擬似ばく露群、ケージ対照群に無作為に分けた。ばく露群は、1日6時間、週5日、パルスRF信号ばく露を受けた。ばく露開始は約52日齢で、屠殺される日まで継続した。擬似ばく露群は同じ期間ばく露群と同様の拘束のみを受けた。ケージ対照は標準ケージに収容された。各群からほぼ同数のラットが、171日齢から325日齢に達するまで、30日ごとに人道的に殺された。そのうちの32匹は死亡し、225匹は瀕死状態で殺された。結果として、1080匹のラットの死後検査で、38個の脊髄腫瘍、191個の脊髄神経腫瘍、232個の脳神経腫瘍、および823個の脳腫瘍が判明した;腫瘍特性の系統的研究によれば、あらゆる種類の神経原性腫瘍において、その発生率、悪性度、体積、多重度、潜伏期、または死亡率にパルスRF信号へのばく露が影響を及ぼしたという証拠は見られなかった、と報告している。

To study any promoting effect of a pulsed radiofrequency signal on latency and other characteristics of neurogenic tumors in the offspring of pregnant rats treated with ethylnitrosourea (6.25 or 10 mg/kg) by methodical comparison of tumor characteristics in serially killed exposed rats compared to sham-exposed and cage control rats.
In a previous study a statistically non-significant trend for shortened latency of ethylnitrosourea-induced brain tumors in rats exposed to an 860 MHz pulsed radiofrequency signal was found (see publication 6198).
Rats from each group were killed every 30 days between the ages of 171 and 325 days.

チャンバの詳細 | The exposure system has been described and illustrated in a previous publication [Zook and Simmens, 2001]. To reduce distortion, the exposure devices were composed entirely of Plexiglas and were located on plastic racks so that no metal or cinderblock walls were within 39 cm of the antenna. |
ばく露装置の詳細 | Rats were placed in well ventilated Plexiglas tubes positioned radially in a carousel exposure system with the central dipole antenna at 2.0 ± 0.5 cm directly in front of each rat's nose (5.0 ± 0.7 cm from the middle of the rat's brain). Removed animals were replaced by cone-shaped plastic tubes filled with a substance having dielectric properties similar to flesh. |
Sham exposure | A sham exposure was conducted. |
Additional information | Food and water were withheld from cage control rats when the RF and sham exposed rats were in their exposure units. |
Examinations on the 1080 rats revealed 38 spinal cord tumors, 191 spinal nerve tumors, 232 cranial nerve tumors, and 823 brain tumors. The study of the tumor characteristics disclosed no evidence that exposure to the pulsed radiofrequency signal affected the incidence, malignancy, multiplicity, volume, latency or fatality associated with any kind of neurogenic tumor.
