この研究は、成獣雄ラット(n=60)を無作為に擬似ばく露群と超低周波電磁界(ELF-EMF)ばく露群に等分し、ELF-EMFばく露群には50Hz、100μTのELF-EMFの24週間ばく露を実施した。24週間のばく露(または擬似ばく露)中、体重および餌と飲料水の摂取量を記録した。また終了後に行動テストを実施した(不安行動:オープンフィールド試験、高架十字迷路試験、抑うつ行動:尾懸垂試験、強制水泳試験、認知・記憶の能力:モーリス水迷路試験、恐怖条件づけ試験)。その結果、体重および餌と飲料水の摂取量にばく露の影響は見られなかった;擬似ばく露群に比べ、ELF-EMFばく露群で何らかの不安行動および抑うつ行動が引き起こされることは何もなかった;認知および記憶能力がELF-EMFばく露により損なわれることはなかった、と報告している。

The effects of exposure of rats to a 50 Hz magnetic field on the behavior, cognitive functions and brain histology should be investigated.
60 rats were equally divided into two groups: exposure and sham exposure. After (sham) exposure, both groups were divided into 3 subsets (n=10 each) to minimize the impact from the testing time and the prior testing. One subset of the animals was subjected to the tests in the order of open field test, tail suspension test and Morris water maze, meanwhile, another subset was subjected to the elevated plus maze and forced swim test subsequently. The last subset of both groups was subjected to the fear conditioning test. After these tests, all animals were killed and the brains examined.

ばく露装置の詳細 | exposure device (200 cm x 70 cm x 200 cm, L x W x H) was constructed with ABS plastics and utilized bronze wires; a four floors plastic shelf with a size of 140 cm x 70 cm x 200 cm (L x W x H) was placed inside the device; 45-55% relative humidity and 22-25°C room temperature were maintained |
Sham exposure | A sham exposure was conducted. |

No significant differences in any parameter were found between exposed and sham exposed rats.
The authors conclude that exposure of rats to a 50 Hz magnetic field has no effects on the behavior, cognitive functions and brain histology.
