研究目的(著者による)

To investigate the possible effects of exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields during early pregnancy on the number and quality of mice blastocysts.

詳細情報

In total, 66 mice were divided into an exposure and a control group (n=33, respectively). Blastocysts were obtained by flushing the uterine horn and fallopian tubes on day three of gestation.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

No significant difference was found in the number of blastocysts between the exposure and the control group. However, the number of total cells, trophoblast cells, and embryoblast cells were significantly reduced in blastocysts from exposed animals compared to those derived from the control group while the ratio of embryoblast cells to trophoblast cells was significantly increased.
The authors conclude that 50 Hz magnetic field exposure could affect the cellular composition of blastocysts in pregnant mice and could hence influence the fertility of female mice.
