この研究は、無線周波(RF)ばく露によるマウス海馬でのカルシウム結合タンパク質(CaBPs)の免疫活性の変化の有無、およびその変化に対する紅チョウセンニンジン抽出液(RG)の神経保護作用を調べた。6週齢ICR雄マウス30匹を、10匹ずつの3群に分けた:擬似ばく露群、RFばく露群(ホーンアンテナによる835MHz全身ばく露;SAR 1.6W/kg)、RF+RG同時ばく露群。ばく露は、1日1時間、30日連続して行い、ばく露終了後、脳の海馬の組織検査を行った。その結果、RF群では、アンモン角でCaBPsをもつ樹状突起分岐が失われ、歯状回で顆粒細胞の免疫組織化学的染色の強度の低下が見られたが、RF+RG群では何も見られなかった;免疫活性密度の平均値は、RF群では対照群との有意差があったが、RF+RG群では有意な差はなかった、と報告している。

To examine the potential protective effect of ginseng on the hippocampus of mice exposed to a radiofrequency electromagnetic field.
Three groups of mice were examined (n=10 per group): 1.) sham exposure, 2.) exposure and 3.) exposure + 30mg/kg ginseng extract.
Calcium binding proteins like calbindin D28k, parvalbumin and calretinin, play an important role in maintaining the intracellular calcium homeostasis. These proteins are specifically distributed in the central nervous system. Ginseng is a widely used herbal medicine with a possibly protective effect on the central nervous system. Therefore, the immunoreactivity of calcium binding proteins in the hippocampus of mice was examined with and without an administration of ginseng extract.

Significant decreases in the intensity of the immunoreactivities regarding calbindin D28k, parvalbumin and calretinin were observed in the exposure group without ginseng when compared to the control group in most of the hippocampal areas. However, no significant differences were observed between the exposure group with ginseng administration and the control group.
Additionally, histopathological changes occurred: In the hippocampus of exposed mice without ginseng, the dendritic arborization decreased compared to the control group, but not in exposed mice with ginseng administration.
The authors conclude that a radiofrequency electromagnetic field could disturb the calcium homeostasis via changing the immunoreactivity of calcium binding proteins in the hippocampus of mice and that ginseng could have a protective effect.
