Effect of acute extremely low frequency electromagnetic field exposure on the antioxidant status and lipid levels in rat brain

掲載誌: Arch Med Res 2012; 43 (3): 183-189

この実験研究は、ラットの脳に対する60Hz磁界ばく露装置は直径30cmのヘルムホルツコイル。ケージを置いた空間の磁界強度2.4mT)の2時間急性ばく露の影響を調べた。Wistar雄ラット32匹を8匹ずつの4群に分けた(対照群拘束(MR)した対照群磁界ばく露群、磁界+MR群)。MRにはラット身体同等サイズのアクリル製シリンダーを用いた。ばく露後に屠殺して脳組織の分析を行った結果、磁界ばく露群ではカタラーゼスーパーオキシドディスムターゼの活性低下が生じた;磁界+MR群では還元グルタチオン一酸化窒素レベルが低下した、などの知見が得られたが、急性磁界ばく露ストレスホルモンであるコルチコステロンの上昇を引き起こさなかったと報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To study the immediate effects of acute magnetic field exposure, immobilization, and the combination of both on the antioxidant system and lipid content in the whole brain of rat.

詳細情報

32 male rats were divided into four groups: 1) control group, 2) exposure group, 3) immobilization, 4) exposure + immobilization.
Immobilization was used as a positive control for physical and psychological stress.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Acute exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic field alone as well as "exposure + immobilization" induced a reduction in catalase and superoxide dismutase enzyme activities compared with the control group, whereas the combination of "magnetic field exposure and immobilization" also decreased both reduced glutathione (compared with the control group) and nitric oxide levels compared with the other groups. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the total lipid content of the brain were higher in the "exposure + immobilization group" than in the other experimental groups. Exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields did not induce any changes of the stress-hormone corticosterone or triacylglycerol levels.
Acute exposure to the extremely low frequency magnetic field appears to be a mild stressor.
