この研究は、NMRI成獣雄マウスに超低周波磁界（ELF MF：0.5 mT、50Hz）の単回の2時間ばく露（短期ばく露）、または2時間／日の2週間ばく露（長期ばく露）を与え、ばく露終了後にオープンフィールド試験での自発運動量（活動性の指標）、強制水泳試験での無動時間（抑うつ様状態の指標）を測定した。その結果、短期ばく露では無動時間に変化はなかった；長期ばく露では、無動時間が有意に短縮した；一方、自発運動量には両方のばく露による違いが見られなかった、と報告した。

研究目的（著者による）

The effects of exposure of mice to a 50 Hz magnetic field on depressive-like behavior and the role of nitric oxide should be investigated.

詳細情報

NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME) was used to exert an anti-depressive effect. It was diluted in physiological saline and administered intraperitoneally (30 mg/kg) after exposure.
72 male mice were divided into the following groups (n=9 each): 1) acute exposure, 2) chronic exposure, 3) acute exposure and administration of L-NAME, 4) acute exposure and administration of saline (sham administration). For each group, a separate sham exposure group was used.

研究の主なアウトカム（著者による）

Chronic exposure (group 2) significantly reduced depressive-like behaviour compared to the sham exposure, while acute exposure (group 1) did not show significant differences compared to the sham exposure.
However, acute exposure in combination with L-NAME (group 3) significantly increased the depressive-like behaviour compared to the respective sham exposure and thus negating the anti-depressing effect of L-NAME.
Locomotor activity did no show any significant differences between the groups.
The authors conclude that chronic exposure of mice to a 50 Hz magnetic field could alter depressive-like behavior in mice. The reversion of the anti-depressive effect of L-NAME indicates a possible increase of nitric oxide in the brain due to the magnetic field exposure.
