DNA damage in frog erythrocytes after in vitro exposure to a high peak-power pulsed electromagnetic field

掲載誌: Mutat Res Genet Toxicol Environ Mutagen 2004; 558 (1-2): 27-34

この研究は、高ピーク電力パルス電磁界(HPPP EMF:8.8GHz、パルス幅180ナノ秒、ピーク電力65 kW、繰り返し周波数50 Hz)がカエルの赤血球に対して遺伝毒性的影響を示すか否かを調べた。DNA 単鎖切断とアルカリ不安損傷を評価する感受性の高い方法であるアルカリコメットアッセイを用いた。血液サンプルに、方形導波管内で40分間のHPPPEMFばく露を与えた。血液サンプルのSARは1.6 W/kgで、温度上昇は安定状態で3.5±0.1℃であった。その結果、HPPPEMFばく露は、非熱的遺伝毒性作用を示さなかった、と報告している。

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The temperature rise in the blood samples was 3.5 +/- 0.1°C. The results show that the increase in DNA damage after exposure of erythrocytes to high peak-power pulsed electromagnetic fields was induced by the rise in temperature in the irradiated cell suspension. This was confirmed in experiments in which blood samples were incubated for 40 min under the corresponding temperature conditions. The data allow the authors to conclude that high peak-power pulsed electromagnetic field-exposure at the given modality did not cause any athermal genotoxic effect on frog erythrocytes in vitro.
